Details and Extracurriculars

For my thesis I developed two software applications in C#, one in console and the other being a Windows Form program with .NET.
The forms application had the role of a client. It controlled a Sierra Wireless GSM modem (connected with a serial port to the computer) with issuing AT commands to it to initiate a GPRS session and send data to a remote server.
The remote server was running the other application. Its function was to open a TCP socket and listen for incoming connections. Whenever the data from the modem were arriving, it filtered the desired data with regular expressions and stored the incoming value to a MySQL database.
The client had also the ability to view the data from the server, showing both a table and a graph. The table and the graph were implemented with PHP and the client made use of the web browser component .NET includes for viewing the results.
