This project was created by me and five other students during the first year of our university program. The project aimed to create a possibility to run projects over a network. The first part was a web page where users could register and be added to some project, this page also contained a calendar and some project info. The web part was written in PHP and connected to an Access database.
The second part was a client/server program written in Java, connected to the same Access database as the webpage. In this program the user could login and chat with a group of people, the project members. It looked like a simple ICQ or MSN client with a chat and a user list. There was also a possibility to broadcast an image to all the members of the current session. This program was created as a Java Web Start program that could be started directly from the web page.
Half a year later this project was revisited in another course. This time me and two of the other group members redesigned the chat client GUI (Java swing). We used our new knowledge about cognition and perception to analyse and recreate a user friendly interface. Again this was done in Java swing.
