Internship at college

Name: Anonymous 2008-07-01 21:04

I'm at college for the summer not for summer session but for a programming internship. The goal is for me to design an application that connects with a SQL server that is to read in comma delimited data and generate the appropriate tables and columns. The data is also to be represented via a standard x/y coordinate graph. All of this is to work together, with the application grabbing data from the server and exporting it to be graphed (in my plan anyway..)

Tools I'm using are Visual Studio 2008 Express as well as sql server 2005 express. I plan on using crystal reports to handle the graphs. I've taken python and an intro class to c++ back in high school so I think I can handle this. I'm planning on learning C# and some T-SQL to complete said project by september. Is this realistic? any suggestions?

The express site came with some good tutorials that basically sets up the code foundation for the application -> server integration, but I can only see long nights from this point onward

Be aware the most stuff I've done was in each program's little IDE, like a command prompt. Simple read in data is fine and easy as well as manipulating the data with variables, etc. Simple intro shit. Now I'm working with a creating apps with a MS GUI and the .NET framework which seems a bit daunting. I'm sure most of you can do this stuff in a day, but the time I'm there is mainly for learning and I need it.

Basically, I can do a bulk insert to generate the tables automatically with a stored procedure, but it's supposed to be automatic every time you start. Fire up the program, looks for new data, generates it, etc. I'm guessing I need to set up the tables accordingly (3NF, foreign keys?) for it to work correctly. Crystal Reports is a bitch.. would graphs be in reporting services/tools?

Also, what are these proper tools you speak of?
