Projects

code

Java RMI Client/Server with Hibernate

This is an RMI with Hibernate combination of the Client/Server Project here and the Bouncing Sprites Project here but without the multithreading.
Sprites are saved in a MySQL database using Hibernate (Sprites class annotated, Server class committing).
Clients connect to the Server and gets an RMI object that hold an array of the sprites and methods to get height/width. To add sprites the Client clicks and a method on the RMI object is called to create a new sprite at the position clicked.

Java Sprites

The project was our first time using threads and is now a very small project knowing what I know now.
All this project does is runs an animated "sprite"(coloured ball) on a new thread.

Java Client Server Implementation

This is a multi-threaded Java implementation of a client/server program.
The server listens for client connections and if one is recieved it sends it to a client handler where the client can send text to the server and it will simply echo it back to the client. The client can exit by typing "thanks for all the fish" and the server will continue to run.

SHA Hashing

Personal work in progress on SHA hashing. I started this as I have mined and been interested in cryptocurrency for a long time and hashing is a big reason why crypto can exist. Using it to teach me more about crypto.

Java Vancouver Housing Data Parser

This was one of my assignments for my Business Intelligence (BI) course. The program parses CSV files released by the local Vancouver government and displays very basic BI statistics.
