Project Aardvark is a project pulled together by Joel Spolsky (he of Joel on Software fame).  Excerpt from Joel on what Project Aardvark is;

"Instead of wasting their talents giving them the usual dull and unimportant tasks of a typical summer internship, we decided to let the interns create a complete new software product, from beginning to end, over the course of one summer. With experienced software developers as mentors, the team will design, program, test, and roll out a complete software product over the course of one hectic summer, going from concept to paying customers in about ten weeks."

Great update post from Benjamin Pollack on going "feature complete" on the first part of the project.  Benjamin has some interesting comments on his trepedations and learning curve with C#, Visual Studio and .NET Library.  That was definitely quite a reading list--yikes! 

Looking forward to that next update Ben! :)
