i'm just curious. What kinds of programs do you guys make? Also, do you sell them either shareware or commercially?

I write interfaces with security products to ease administration and penetration analysis tools.

No I do not sell them. They are in-house only and for personal use.

I make small applications (for home use) to ease the use of tasks.

I am also an exellent game programmer...at least I'd like to be...

I do many applications ranging from internet apps to screensavers. Most of my applications are very complex so it takes me quite a while to finish them. I also do some work in gaming... and internet gaming.

Yes, I do make money... when things get done.

I write applications that downloads data from the company's computer, runs the data through some analysis programs, creates customized Excel spreadsheets with the data, then e-mails the Excel spreadsheets to various department managers at locations throughout the United States. These programs automatically run nightly.
I make money for this via my paycheck.

ps. What is cintel?

I write Security related software and whatever else the community has a need for.

My latest project involves fingerprint verification and tags to monitor access and movement of employees.

We sell these to large coorporations, if we can get them interested. I also recently started with Internet developement.

I do whatever comes in to my mind. I also use DJGPP for game programming (VB is too slow for me). Now I'm making editor for Settlers II (2). I've many other projects too, I do them when I got inspired.

What's DJGPP?

I did programming fo my A-Level Computing, so I didn't make any money. Now I want to learn more, so I'm not doing anything commercially. I just make stuff that I feel like making. Like last night I made a noughts and crosses game (tic tac toe?), 'cause I was bored and there was nothing on TV, and I spend far too much time on the internet already.

Yeah, so what's DJGPP anyway?

DJPP is a freeware C/C++ compiler.

I do commercial apps for the tile/paver industry. Am currently working on a Customer retention app as well as a xml generator.

Yes l make money from it

Anything I feel like (or at least anything I can)!! :)

I've made a few games, plenty of screensavers (that's a point has anybody figured out an easy way to fill in the Preview window of the Screen Saver tab of the Display Properties Control Panel? - the demos I've seen look far too involved.)

Most of my programs are for personal learning/scaring off boredom use, although I do make a few for friends. Recently I've been making a Telnet server and trying to wrap my head around databases (I think I'm a lost cause there - does anybody know of a good DB book that will take me right from Access basics to complex Access & VB stuff (but easy to swallow)?)

Hi
This is my first "real" app,and my first programmingjob. Im developing the user-interface for an Opera in Sweden, to control the opening/Closing of the hatches(? the small "doors") in the floor.
It is hard to follow the specs from the user and keep the program simple and I have learned the value of using comments in my code.

Every program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work.

I am going to be rich in a few weeks!
I'm 16.5 and i am working on a software over a year! its like the ICQ but in HEBREW!
so all of my country citizens will be able to enjoy the world of the internet with their mother-language.

no need to say that some companies that saw the beta ver, are really interested of buying my company.
