Main Concept:

--> Crawling news (from the Internet).
--> Storing it into the database.
--> Retrieving information from the database to the application.

The application crawls the RSS feeds from the available sources. Stores all the gathered information in a Database. Then, we can retrieve the information on different views from the Database. Information flow is automatic and we do not control what gets in and out from the database as sources provides the input and our application views shows the output.

File Transfer Protocol - C# Socket Programming

Main Concept:
The idea is based on two applications:

• The Server Application
• The Client Application

Multiple Clients can access a server to upload to or download from the server. Server can Broadcast or Multicast files to its connected clients.The Server will also keep the records of transfers into it's database.

The Server and every individual Client is considered a Socket or an Endpoint. Server will interact with each client on a separate thread this way the information of one client will not get corrupted by any other.

Features:

• Clients can upload files to the server and download hosted files from the server.

• The Server uses threaded clients approach to interact with each client.

• Server can Uni-cast, Multicast or Broadcast files.

• Server maintains a database of file transfers.
