My Project
This design study was introduced by my ENEL428 software assignment. The purpose of the assignment is to design a prototype of an Instant Messenger System using concurrent programming. The system is broken into two separate parts a client and a server. This design study is for the client program.
The communication protocol was not specified so I am using a system similar to IRC where logging on only requires a unique username, not a user account. This means that the server only needs to maintain a list of currently online users.
