The best way to show you how to build a high quality Java application is to take you through building one.

We are going to build a Chat application from scratch. While we are building this Chat, I will introduce many concepts to help you build a high quality application.

Ok let’s get started.

First thing is to define a scope. In other words what we are going to build.

SCOPE: The Chat application we are going to build will be a client/sever application. The client can run on its own or as an Applet. The chat application will have multiple chat rooms and features like whisper (allows a user to whisper to another user). It would also be nice to add a white board so people can draw pictures together. Streaming video/audio would also be nice. Why not throw in SSL security too.

Boy if I can build the above I would be impressed.
