Chat Room Application

This repository contains a Chat Room Application built using advanced Java technologies. The project is designed to demonstrate the integration of real-time communication, data management, and a user-friendly interface, all implemented using core and advanced Java concepts.

Features

• Intuitive User Interface: Designed with JavaFX to provide a seamless user experience.
• Real-Time Communication: Implemented using Socket Programming to allow users to send and receive messages in real time.
• Efficient Data Management: Utilized JDBC and SQL for managing user data, message history, and other persistent data efficiently.
• Multi-Threaded Interaction: Supports concurrent interactions, enabling multiple users to communicate simultaneously without performance issues.

Technologies Used

1. JavaFX: For building the graphical user interface.
2. JDBC: For database connectivity.
3. SQL: To manage and query data efficiently.
4. Socket Programming: For implementing the chat's real-time communication features.
5. Multi-Threading: To optimize the server and client interaction for concurrent users.

Project Highlights

• Performance Optimization: The server is designed to handle multiple client connections simultaneously using multi-threading, ensuring smooth communication without delays.
• Collaborative Development: This project provided hands-on experience in collaborative software development, mimicking real-world professional workflows.
• Skill Development: Improved proficiency in advanced Java programming concepts and practical implementation.
