The next project to complete is mandelbrot-app. It will contain QTcpServer, which will interact with the workers and the picture drawing of the Mandelbrot set. As a reminder, the diagram of the mandelbrot-app architecture is shown here:
We will build this application from the ground up. Let's start with the class responsible for maintaining the connection with a specific Worker: WorkerClient. This class will live in its specific QThread and will interact with a Worker class using the same QTcpSocket/QDataStream mechanism we covered in the last section.
In mandelbrot-app, create a new C++ class named WorkerClient and update WorkerClient.h like so:
#include <QTcpSocket> #include <QList> #include <QDataStream> #include "JobRequest.h" #include "JobResult.h" #include "Message.h...
