Web Resume

[SweatinApplets]

Sorry if this is a little off-topic. There doesn't seem to be a better place for this.

With the economy in a slump (maybe that's an understatement), it seems like a good time to do a little career-enhancement training. I already have a BS in computer science, but want to try to learn some new web development skills by making a professional looking, personal website that shows off these various skills. I want this to be a genuine learning exercise, rather than pure self promotion, so I want to take my time and include some fairly sophisticated apps/applets.

I've already done some Javascript that required some fairly intensive research, experimentation and debugging. This consists mainly of graphical gimmicks. Nothing tremendously innovative, but I learned a lot and it looks very slick.

Does anyone have any ideas for features that I might implement using C# and asp.net? That's what I want to learn next. Just brainstorming, I've come up with the idea of adding puzzles or a guestbook, but neither of these are really ideal for a professionally oriented web-resume. Any more off-the-cuff, brainstorming, type ideas would be much appreciated. ;)

Really not sure what you have already done so here is something that want to try. Dont know if any of this stuff will help you are not.

Well you can do things like:
Splash Screen
calculator
login with password type thing
or password generator
working with a database for something on you website would be good
program that add clients deletes clients modify clients information. (something like
phone book type thing)
(Database skills are always a useful thing to have)
That is all I can think of off the top of my head.

Then you can always look on sites like www.asp.net and www.gotdotnet.com and sourceforge.net

These have smaple codes that you can get ideas from and go try yourself!

Good Luck!
