About The Project

Here with this project we're going to learn about the basics of network programming in Qt framework. This repo contains 2 projects one for client application and the other act as the server. Here we focus on TCP protocol and in future I'll cover how to use UDP for communication also.

Built With

• Qt v6.0

<p align="right">(<a href="#readme-top">back to top</a>)</p> <!-- GETTING STARTED -->

Getting Started

To get start with this project I recommand to watch the Demo video on youtube

Prerequisites

Download and install Qt on your machine from it's official site (https://www.qt.io/) based on your OS.

Installation

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/vRFEducation/QtNetworkProgramming.git
   

2. Open project in Qt Creator
3. Run qmake in Build menu (for both client and server)
4. Run the Application (both client and server)

<p align="right">(<a href="#readme-top">back to top</a>)</p> <!-- USAGE EXAMPLES -->

Usage

Communicating between 2 application on different machine or even connect to a device that support TCP/IP and send data over this protocol, is widely used in industries applications. So here I'm gonna create a clien/server application to show how you can establish such kind of connections between application and trasnfer data in 2-way commuinication.

<p align="right">(<a href="#readme-top">back to top</a>)</p> <!-- ROADMAP -->

Roadmap

• [ ] Use UDP as the protocol for communication

See the open issues for a full list of proposed features (and known issues).
