My hesitation to reject the possibility of creating a chat application is really getting onto my nerves. First point is why is it so easy. I mean yeah, creating email at this point is easy, easier now than say 15 years in the past. Also, I want to create an email service now, now that I think about it. But to hell with that. If a website today comes with a default email service, it doesn't make any sense for me to create one.
Coming back to the point, Xamarin is a really good platform to create cross-platform apps and my interest is to create a chat app. Anyway, it is so easy and I should be finding myself a vast array of chat apps. Android's playstore has more than I could imagine but none of them are in solid use. This bothers me.
Should I do it as an academic exercise? After all anybody could copy paste code to generate fibonacci numbers but the point to teach that is to introduce recursion. You can't run with it and get a job. Although it could be a potential interview question, it alone doesn't serve any purpose. Now, if I generate a fractal using the series, it would still be meh as you would be one of those guys who read beyond textbook. Now, if we are talking about detecting a pattern in a very weird scenario and if that matched the well known fibonacci series, you've hit the jackpot. Is similar thing possible with chat application?
May it is or may be it isn't. Kirusa definitely created a chat application and if I have any intention to get into that, it only makes a logical sense that I should learn. Something that's easier to learn is of course java socket programming. C# is great but doesn't sound the same. The only way through I see is that better learn java for desktop applications and use C# for socket programming. Given a chance, I could possibly transfer the knowledge to Xamarin and make a chat app.
God, blogging your thoughts is like brainstorming with 5 people.
Until I come up with a mind-boggling decision.

P.S. Currently I am doing 8th sem project and a text editor. This one could be a burden on me.
