Five topics related to computing that interest me:
Containers - I find them really interesting, a useful concept, but I haven't used them
SQL integerated into web forms, both to gather input and for showing results
Server-side web programming, so that a user submits, but can't see what's going on behind-the-browser
MS IIS interests me, and I might implement it as a CS240B project
DDNS is something I'd like to use at home, so that I could leave my computer on, but still access it from school


Five topics that I feel are difficult right now:
Containers - they're also difficult for me, without more exposure and repeated use
Concepts and theory behind pointers in C, specifically the meaning of double asterisks, a single, or none at all (and when to use)
Still a little fuzzy on definitions of a programming CLASS, where it can refer to self. or where it can perform a .method


I find it difficult to download a list of UPC codes for Coca-Cola - this seems to me like something that should be a slam-dunk for the interwebs, but sources always seem to want you to already have a list, then they'll tell you the details of the product for that code, OR they want you to provide every detail, then they'll reveal one specific UPC
