dDist 2014 is the 2014 version of the course on distributed systems at Aarhus University. Part of the course are a number of exercises and this repository contains our solutions to most of them.
The biggest exercise was creating a distributed, collaborative text editor, i. e. an editor where multiple users on different machines can edit the same text at the same time. The source code to this can be found in ex09. We also had to write handins describing our system. They can be found in ex09-handin, ex11-handin and ex14-handin.
Jesper Buus Nielsen, the instructor of the course, provided the sources for the basic text editor. They were added in 2194cca.
The editor words quite well generally. However, we didn't have time to fix some more serious issues, most of which are written down in ex09-handin/known-bugs.txt.
