EDP-project: Class Scheduler with GUI client

Project Overview

This University Project was developed as part of our coursework to demonstrate our knowledge of TCP/UDP protocols and Java programming. It implements a client-server architecture to create and manage class schedules for students. The project has been completed, submitted, and received the maximum grade possible.

Project Status

• Grade Received: A
• Development Status: Completed (No Further Development Planned)

Project History

1. Initial Development: The project began as a collaborative effort between team members, focusing on TCP implementation. It was initially hosted at https://github.com/VaskMykola/University-Project-javaFX-tcp.

2. Repository Transfer: During development, a team member requested to host the project in their personal repository. The team agreed, and development continued there with contributions from all members. If it will be public again here a link: https://github.com/oleksandr-kardash/EDP-project

3. Project Completion: The project was successfully completed and submitted for grading.

4. Repository Privacy Change: After grading, the repository owner made the project repository private.

5. Current Public Version: This repository is a copy of the final project state just before it was made private. It's shared publicly to showcase our work and maintain access to the completed project.

Features

• Client GUI for easy interaction
• Server handling multiple client connections
• TCP-based communication between client and server
• TCP-based communication between client and server
• Add, remove, and display class schedules
• Automatic rescheduling of classes to early morning slots

Technical Highlights

• Multi-threaded server to handle concurrent client connections
• Implementation of synchronization for thread-safe operations
• Use of Java Swing for the client GUI
• Fork-Join framework for parallel processing of schedule modifications

Project Structure

• ClassSchedulerApplication.java: Main client application with GUI
• Server.java: Multi-threaded server implementation
• Schedule.java: Core logic for managing class schedules
• Class.java: Represents a single class in the schedule
• IPAddressUtil.java: Utility for retrieving server IP address

How to Run

1. Start the server:

   java project.server.Server
   

2. Launch the client application:

   java project.fxpart.ClassSchedulerApplication
   

3. Enter the server's IP address when prompted (or press Enter for localhost)

Key Components

• Client: JavaFX-based GUI for user interaction
• Server: Handles client requests and manages the shared schedule
• Schedule: Maintains the class timetable with thread-safe operations
• Class: Represents individual classes with start/end times and room information

Advanced Features

• Early morning rescheduling using Fork-Join framework
• Conflict detection for overlapping classes
• Dynamic GUI updates based on user actions
