As a software developer, creating a task manager is a common project that many undertake. Task managers are essential tools that allow users to view and manage running processes on their computers. While Windows Task Manager serves this purpose well, creating your own task manager can be a great learning experience and can help you understand how processes work in a more granular way.

This task manager was created by me back in 2005, it is essentially a reimplementation of the Windows Task Manager, as most of the early projects of all developers, it was more of a study project than something I could sell or prefer to use. This app is written in Visual Basic.NET and targets .Net Framework 2.0. The user interface of this app is very similar to that of the Windows Task Manager and displays detailed information about each running process.

One of the major benefits of creating your own task manager is that you have the freedom to customize it to your liking. For example, you can add additional features or information that may not be available in the Windows Task Manager. In my implementation, I added multilingual support, making it one of the first apps ever written with Chechen interface.

Overall, creating a task manager application can be a great project for software developers, particularly those who are interested in learning about system-level programming. By building your own task manager, you can gain a better understanding of how processes work and how to interact with them programmatically. Additionally, customizing your own task manager can provide additional features and insights that may not be available in the Windows Task Manager.
