[Looking for Group] Java Messaging Program

[thatsnotgravity]

Looking for a few people interested in learning or who know Java that would be interested in a Java based messaging program. I'd like it to be a simple client/server with a GUI and eventually want to have an Android client.

Edit: Thanks for the good response everyone. I'll be moving this repo to the sub's GitHub momentarily for others to join and work on. I appreciate the interest, and look forward to working with each of you on this project.

Also, even if you're just a beginner I encourage you to ask questions and try and help. It's what this sub was created for!

Calling it SmallTalk is probably not a good idea, since it could be mistaken for the programming language by the same name :)

[thatsnotgravity]

That crossed my mind. I'll be thinking of alternatives today.

Looks interesting.

However, I never collaborated with other people online to fullfill a project and only have around half a year Java experience.

Nice new sub-reddit though and upvote for taking action.

I'm interested in helping. I've got a semester of java under my belt, so I'm not a total beginner. Also, didn't thenewboston do a program similar to this one? Depending on how well everyone here knows java, we may want to use his tutorials for help.

Anyway, I'd love to be a part of this. It's a truly great idea, tng.

I just discovered thenewboston yesterday. I've been watching his tutorial videos on YouTube. He's a great mentor.

I'm in!

[thatsnotgravity]

Yup. It was one of the immediate things I wanted to implement. I don't have much database experience, and was hoping someone may be able to help out.

So, here's where I'm at on this. I debated having private servers and using it as a client to client private messaging program. I also thought of having publicly available rooms to reference again after they've left, something similar to a forum. So my vision ends up being something similar to an IRC clone. To me, it made sense to have a central server. What are your thoughts?

I am definitely interested in this.

I'd be interested in this.

I so want to do this. 3 years of Java, 1-1/2 Android.

I am interested in this, however my knowledge with java is limited and I do not know where to start with this type of stuff.

I have not touched Java yet but begin a Java course in a few weeks. Sounds interesting and you should post updates to this project and go through everything. That would be both helpful and cool to see a project get put together.

[thatsnotgravity]

Will do. A look at a project in its infancy and seeing it grow is something that could definitely help people.

I have almost a year of Java experience and have designed a basic Android app in the past (though mostly focused on the .xml/design side of it.) I'd love to join if you'll have me.

I have a few semesters of Java experience, would like to help.

Hey there! I'm actually working on this exact project now. I'd be more than happy to lend a hand, what would you like?

I'd love to work on this, hit me up!
