  GUFFGAFF -A small chat engine!!!!
• 2.
  INTRODUCTION “GUFFGAFF” • This project work is a part of the Object Oriented Programming in C++,submitted to the Department Of Electronics and Computer Engineering. • As the name suggests, our project is basically a chat application that facilitates the user to have communication via network. • IP address is passed to the server for hosting and once client accepts the connection, one can freely have a chat!!!
• 3.
   We used the concepts and features of C++,visual C++ as well as socket programming.  Visual C++ is used with an overview to add graphics to our project.  Sockets are the protocol independent method of creating a connection between process. CONCEPTS USED
• 4.
   To became familiar with the basic concepts of OOP such as objects, classes, data encapsulation, inheritance etc and implementation of the OOP approach through C++.  To implement the concept of networking through socket programming.  To prepare a graphical interface application using VISUAL C++.  To take the input through keyboard as well as mouse.  To entertain generally all age group people.  To practice teamwork and develop the interactive level between teachers and students

  APPLICATION This is anapplication which we suppose will be liked by its user. Some of the applications of our project are listed as below: 1. This project has been developed as a tool to increase our interest and knowledge in the field of socket programming. 2. This project has been designed as suitable for all age people for the entertainment. 3. This application can be used as the commercial application with further improvements.

  Hence ,conclusively, thereis no doubt that this project was completed with a lots of intensive effort and time. Most significantly, the guidance of our seniors and the teachers helped us to complete the project. Though our application could not be commercially beneficial in the present state , but it can successfully provide us a clear concept on sockets and socket programming. As a whole, the project was a good learning experience for all three of us. We gained knowledge and ideas on the various aspects of networking ,socket programming as well as visual C++. Simultaneously, we developed a deep understanding about the whole OOP concept and its enhanced features. Skills of genuine teamwork was one of the significant thing learnt during the project development. During the whole project development phase, we came face to face with practically applicable aspect of engineering which may guide us in developing professional projects in near future.
