The Art of Doing - Python Network Applications with Sockets - Advanced GUI Chat Room Part 4 - Outlining Client Functiona

The video tutorial guides viewers through setting up a client-side connection class without using global variables. It covers defining methods for connecting and disconnecting from a server, updating the GUI based on connection status, and handling message packets using JSON. The tutorial concludes with a review of the client functions, ensuring a solid foundation for a chat room application.

• disconnect

• initialize

What is the role of the GUI start function?
