Description

A chat is a real-time communication with one or more users connected to the internet. Chat applications are very necessary at this time in a workplace to communicate employees with each other for company purposes. In Python programming, this type of communication is possible to do using the library sockets, which enables connecting two nodes on a network to communicate with each other. We represent in this paper how to build a chat application that uses a server to connects multiple users and let them communicate with each other using the TCP protocol. Threads are used for parallel programming to send and receive messages in real-time which makes this chat application very useful even if there are a lot of clients connected at the same time.
