could you give some examples of that? i am trying to do that right now but not sure how big or small they should be
I mean, just go to any developer's homepage and you'll probably find an online portfolio of some kind. Mine started out at code.Kevinworkman.com, but that has since been replaced by StaticVoidGames.com. Basically, you want to be able to answer the question "what kinds of programs have you worked on in your spare time?" with "here's my homepage" instead of "well, I've done some school work".
