I am trying to better up my skills in C, as I see it as an entry point to learn more in-depth programming concepts. I have built some class projects: a lexical analyzer in C++ and a puzzle solving algorithm using A* written in C. However, I have not made a project that I would call “relevant.” to put on my resume. I want to create something that will challenge me intellectually without the need to be an expert with 10+ years of experience. I want to make something interesting that is cross-functional, yet I am not sure what kind of projects will give me that thrill. I am asking the community for advice on this and ideas on things I should build in order to develop these skills.

This is the place to discuss everything about C/C++ and Assembly —from basic programming concepts to advanced topics like memory management, concurrency, and performance optimization. Share knowledge, ask questions, and collaborate with developers.

C/C++ Community

The author seeks advice on creating intellectually challenging C programming projects that are relevant and impressive for a resume. They have experience with class projects like a lexical analyzer in C++ and a puzzle-solving algorithm using A* in C, but are looking for more advanced and cross-functional project ideas to further develop their skills.
