A Simple Java TCP Client

By
As followed my post about simple java TCP server and I promised to post about simple java TCP client, so here it is. If you haven't read my simple java TCP server already, then why don't you give it a go. There you'll find how to compile java code that I will not be covering in this post. So go ahead to this post and get back here as soon as you know how to compile java code. If you already know how to do it, then it's okay to continue to read this post.
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.Scanner;

class Client{
    private static Client client;
    private static int socketNumber = 1234;
    private static Socket clientSocket;

    public Client(){
        try{
            clientSocket = new Socket("localhost", getSocket());
        }catch(Exception e){
            System.out.println("Error."+e.getMessage());
        }
    }

    private int getSocket(){
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Input socket server: ");
        socketNumber = in.nextInt();
        System.out.println("Socket server "+socketNumber+", Ready to send message");
        return socketNumber;
    }

    public static void main(String argv[]) throws Exception{
        client = new Client();
        String sentence;  
        String modifiedSentence;   
        BufferedReader inFromUser = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(System.in));   
        DataOutputStream outToServer = new DataOutputStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream());   
        BufferedReader inFromServer = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));   
        sentence = inFromUser.readLine();   
        outToServer.writeBytes(sentence + '\n');   
        modifiedSentence = inFromServer.readLine();   
        System.out.println("FROM SERVER: " + modifiedSentence);   
        clientSocket.close();
    }
} 
Compile and run the code.
To test this out, we need to run the server as well so go ahead open another terminal and run the server. Put the socket port you want your server will be using and press ENTER . Then in your client, put the server port that you just typed in and press ENTER. Now you'll see "Ready to send message" message, it indicates that both client and server are now connected.
Just type something from client then you'll see your message will be appeared in the server side.

To test our server from a different computer, we need know our PC ip address. To find out our IP address, simply type in terminal ipconfig for windows or ifconfig for ubuntu and our IP address is shown next to inet label.
After we know our PC's IP,  open terminal from another computer which runs ubuntu and type in telnet <our ip address> <server port> and we're ready to send message to server.

Korps Dai Mahasiswa (KDM) Salman ITB

By
Dai Corps Students, or shortened to KDM Salman ITB , is a recitation of activities held at Salman Mosque and intended for ITB students and also public. Located in the South Corridor Salman Mosque, KDM Salman ITB is trying to bring teaching activities with the concept of traditional pesantren (traditional boarding school). With meetings every day after dhuhur, the students who take part in this Salman KDM get the study material by using the yellow books (kitab kuning) as a handle, as in the traditional pesantren. Teachers who bring the study also vary depending on the items of its study, they are ustadzs from Salman mosque itself. KDM Salman ITB appears to address concerns some students, as well as some ustadzs in mosques Salman, who feel that it is necessary to foster student containers in religious matters. It is motivated by the proliferation of such activities 'mentoring' on campus. But the mentor who brought the material (ie students) were deemed less or even not ...

Baju baru alhamdulillah, tuk dipakai di hari raya, Tak punya pun tak apa-apa, masih ada baju yang lama. Sepatu baru alhamdulillah, tuk dipakai di hari raya, Tak punya pun tak apa-apa, masih ada sepatu yang lama. Kue baru alhamdulillah, tuk dimakan di hari raya, Tak punya pun tak apa-apa, masih ada kue yang lama. /wahaha Alhamdulillah, tidak terasa ramadhan telah berlalu. Rasa syukur ku kepada Allah SWT. karena telah diberi kesempatan untuk bisa bertemu ramadhan tahun ini sampai selesai. Meskipun Ramadhan udah selesai, semoga hati dan jiwa tetap fitri dan selalu terjaga. Ramadhan kali ini sangat menyenangkan meskipun setengahnya aku jalanin tanpa keluarga, tanpa sanak saudara yang menemani jerih payah puasa. /sweat Tapi ngga papa, yang penting inti dari ibadah bulan ramadhan tetep didapat. #intinya apa ya? Seperti ramadhan-ramadhan sebelumnya, setiap satu minggu sebelum lebaran ibu (dan aku) pasti bikin kue-kue penghias meja. Kali ini pun sama. Aksi bikin kue pun terjadi...

[Arduino Project -- 5] -- Using Keypad and LCD Screen at Once to make simple Calculator

By
Good day. This is my fifth times of my post about Arduino. We've learned about how to create something using Arduino from the very beginning that was just make a simple push button, till we made something more difficult which was creating a temperature censor and displaying the result in the LCD screen. And now, i'm gonna show you how to use a keypad and LCD Screen at once. With these two devices are combined with our Arduino, we are able to make something like a little application. And now, i'm gonna make a simple calculator using them. Stuffs: These are stuffs you are gonna need to prepare An Arduino Uno A BreadBoard Jumper Cables A Keypad A PC which has Arduino App Installed A Potensiometer A Resistor What do we do? First thing we gotta do is to wire our Arduino and keypad as shown below: Actually we dont need the speaker and the led. But I put them when i wired them. And here is my work: It was a little bit confusing i thought. And aft...
