Project 2 Progress Status
1)
To get to this part of the application, the user would have to input a username
that they would like to use. Upon doing so, they will be able to access the ability
to create a post.
2)
This portion of the code creates the form in which the user can use to create a post
and also shows how the sockets connects to the localhost server and prompts the user
for a name upon start up of the website. The code is written in javascript and I have
written approximately 35 lines of code.
3)
One interesting feature of the app so far would be how you can remain anonymous when
creating posts. As long as the user does not use their real names on the username
input, then they would not have to worry about being associated with their post.
4)
We are not too far into the completion of the project, I would say we are approximately
15-20% done with the project so far. One interesting thing that I have learned since
starting this project would be how socketIO works. It is much simpler than creating a
server on C. With C server, you would have to use threads to make client connection but
since socketIO does not need threads there is no complexities in terms of the creation
and management of threads.
