A real time messaging app, which uses sockets connection both in client and server side.
It was created using the Django framework which has the in-built sockets' library called Django-Channels,
that gives us the ability to connect with the client-side application in real time.
In the client side of the application, I used the Websockets API with Javascript to establish a
connection with the server.
Make sure you have installed Django & Redis on your system.
Run the manage.py file from the root folder.
