+# SteadyState-Detector
+
+This is a code to experiment with socket connections (something I haven't done very extensively).
+It turned out to be much easier than I originally thought.
+I also was able to get some experience working with multi-threading from a server perspective.
+This is pretty different from my experience with multi-threading primarily from an accelerating numerical calculations' perspective.
+I wrote this in Java just to fill out my portfolio with code samples in different programming languages.
