A Desktop Phonebook Application

Featured Skills / Tools

• C++
• Qt 5.14

I built a desktop phonebook application to step up my networking game. Using this application, I can send personalized emails to all my contacts at the same time. I can launch a Skype call with any of my contacts at the click of a button, and I can keep track of important stuff like where they work and when they got their last promotion.

2. A TCP Multi-Client Chat Application

Featured Skills / Tools

• C++
• TCP Socket programming in C++

This simple program features a TCP server that allows multi-threaded connection of multiple clients at the same time. Each client can send to and receive messages from other clients connected to the server. In simpler words, this is a simple demo program of a group chat room.

I learned a lot about TCP socket programming by working on this project.

3. Weather Buddy - A Simple Weather App

Featured Skills / Tools

• C++
• Qt 5.14
• Accessing a public API
• Working with Json-formatted data in C++

This simple weather application can get you the weather information of any city on earth. Just enter the city, select the country and click a button. That's it. It doesn't get any points for UI design, of course, but I'm working on that :)

I had lots of fun putting this application together, and I learned quite a lot as well. The biggest skills I learned working on this project are accessing a public API and accurately parsing chaos of data in Json format to a simple presentation that makes sense to the user. Again, I marvel at just how robust Qt libraries are.

4. A C++ std::vector Class

Featured Skills / Tools

• C++
• Data Structures
• Algorithms

I implemented my own std::vector class to further understand data structures and algorithms. I called the class 'bucket' because I can't call it vector now, can I? :) Like all my other projects, I did this purely for learning and for fun, and I did learn a bucket load about data structures and algorithms from working on this class.
