I'm learning and doing projects on Grails, but for now it's a little boring because of the repetitive work (GORM, fix bug,...) . I want to "play" a little: making something simple, but useful, so that I can get inspired again with the programing work. For example, I think of something like Workrave, or RainCalendar, or Google StreetView.
The problem is that I'm just a lone programmer, and don't have lots of time for developing my own software. So I posted this question to ask for:
Some idea about a simple-coding program, but useful, interesting (funny is a bonus).
Some where (online) for programmer like me can find interesting project to join? I can code C, C++, Java, Grails and PHP. But other languages is also welcome.
I'll appreciate any idea from everyone.
To Answer your Second question:
sourceforge
And that has a lot of projects running so take a look at their Project Help Wanted board
then join the one you like.
And that should in turn answer your first question

Please suggest me a good option between an IDE/Online compiler. As a beginner, I would like to have knowledge regarding an organized method for coding also most comfortable between the above
Maybe you should check this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4331490/12703498
It doesn't apply only to .net IMO. It really depends what and how you want to learn programming languages.

Tech lead and experience will teach you this better than anything else.

I'm pretty new to coding and while searching on random stuff on the internet i found out that it is possible to make games without a single line of code with the help of game-engines like Unity. So what merit is there in coding a game? I have my guesses but i would like to have an answer to be sure, thank you in advance.
Unity requires coding for anything truly custom
You can get quite far with Unity just using already built stuff, but that's just the problem. You are limited to using the parts someone has already made and combining them. Now, that does allow for a heck of a lot of combinations but that is as far as you can go.
You are also limited in your ability to correct unwanted behavior in precisely the way you want it to be corrected.
You need to learn coding in order to make games and that includes using gaming engines such as Unreal or Unity engines. The main reason on why you would need to learn coding is to add logic to your game such as moving your character.
If you are using Unity I would suggest referring to the following link and learn more about scripting(aka coding) and how can you implement it in your game and that way you would have a better idea on why/when coding is essential to the game you're creating.

I am in the market for a raspberry pi or alternative. I've done quite a bit of research but I can't find a raspberry pi alternative that is both more powerful, but also has the same community and add on options. So, can anyone suggest an alternative?
Note:I want one for recreation, I.E. building a robot arm, but I also want to run a low scale server.
Thanks in advance!
I love following #cnxsoft on Twitter and his blog at http://www.cnx-software.com/.
I suggest you to go to his blog and see tags like http://www.cnx-software.com/tag/development-board/ there is every week at least one new board with more and more powerful processors and lower prices... Find one that fits your needs(OS, Pins...)
I'm also not sure why this is marked with tags like "xamarin-studio" :)
I am not sure if this is the right forum, the scope seems too broad. So don't be surprised if this is closed as offtopic.
Can you say what alternatives you have looked at so far?
Try looking into the following and see if they fit your requirement :
http://arduino.cc/en/ArduinoCertified/IntelGalileo
http://beagleboard.org/black
I think you are thinking of the bananapi, or the hummingboard.

I recently started looking at programming and have been quite interested in it. The only bad thing is that I don't know how code works, where I can write it, or what languages to take into consideration.
I want to learn how to make applications for the iOS operating system, and i heard Objective C is the language for that. Is Objective C something you would recommend to a beginner?
I just wish I could grasp the concept of programming a little better and get a better understanding because, as of right now, it seems extremely complicated.
As a beginning programmer, I would advise that you'd be better served learning how computers and programs work as a general concept, which will orient your thinking as to how programs are made.
I've heard lots of good things about the Haskell language in this regard, and I would recommend you start here: http://tryhaskell.org
Once you have a good concept of how programs work, and what kind of thinking and organisation is required, then you can move on to languages like C/Objective-C, which would be very frustrating to start on.

I know what Mono is but I don't understand why it exists. Why do Novell sponsor the project? I ask the question because I would like to use Mono but I have concerns over its future/commitment. If I better understood why the projects exists I'd feel better about using/recommending it.
How else would any .NET code run on Unix/Linux/iOs?
It exists because Miguel De Icaza saw .NET, liked it and wanted to have it available on Linux. Knowing that Microsoft will probably not port the platform, he decided to do it himself.
Since the code is open source, it is not going away anywhere.
I don't have any inside dope, but I'm not aware of a story other than an interested party that knew Microsoft was unlikely to port .NET to *nix platforms took on the task. It started as open source and picked up Novell sponsorship after it achieved some measure of success.
I don't believe a "better" story would help you feel more comfortable about recommending it. No one knows the future, and Novell's sponsorship isn't a guarantee of success.
