Interview Question in Visual Studio 2008


 

Interview Question :: Write an IM program in Java or C++? (btw what language is AIM in?)

Does anyone know how to write a simple IM program in Java or C++?

If so, what do you need for both since I am currently learning both languages.

This IM client t will be a peer to peer rather than a peer to server connection.

Could I use any Java IDE ?

For C++ can I use MS Visual Studio 2008 Express?

Do I have to use the Win.api for C++?

I'm still doing simple console stuff but I'm looking ahead since I want to write a simple IM program someday once I learn GUI stuff.

Anyone know?

Oh yea what language is AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ ect. written in?
