I think it's a very good idea that you find small projects to do; in my
opinion, this is an excellent way to learn and reinforce your Java skills.
I've been using this approach for many years.
I've always invented my own projects. I've conceived of projects in two main
ways:
1. I ask myself what programs I could write that would be useful to me right
now. For instance, if I was about to travel somewhere, I might have currency
conversions on my mind and might choose to write a currency converter for my
PDA.
2. I look at problems that my friends are having and try to think of
programs that might help them. For instance, if one of my friends had a huge
library of books or DVDs and was having trouble keeping track of what he
had, I might offer to write him a program to catalog his books or movies.
3. I've written games that looked like they might be fun to play or
interesting to program.
Other approaches you might want to try are:
- look at the Java API and see if any particular package catches your eye as
something that would be especially interesting to learn about; then try to
conceive of a project that would need that package
- look at newsgroup posts to get an idea of what classes are especially in
demand among employers; then try to conceive of a project that uses those
classes
- look at newsgroup posts to see what problems other people are solving and
try to solve them yourself, just for the challenge of it.
- look at tutorials for Java; sometimes they describe projects and/or
develop solutions to some aspects of these projects. For instance, the Java
Tutorial has a Bingo game project. You could write your own Bingo project
using as much or as little of the code from the tutorial as you like.
