c++ and visual studio 08, how to develop the following web extracting application. folloow up of las
- by user287745
the purpose is to use c++ in a useful way.
i have just started programming and have made a few small applications in c and c#.
my understanding is that programming for web and thing related to web is now a days a very easy task.
please note this is for personnel learning not for rent a coder or any money making.
an application which can run on any windows platform even win98.
the application should start automatically at a scheduled time and do the following.
connect to a site which displays stock prices summary (high low current open ).
captures the data (excluding the other things in the site)
and saves it to disk ( a sql database)
please note:-
internet connection is assumed to be there always.
do not want to know how to make database schema or database.
the stock exchange has no law prohibiting the use of the data provided on its site, but i do not want to mention the name in case i am wrong, but its for personnel private use only.
the data of summary of pricing is arranged in a table such that when copied pasted to ms excel it automatically forms a table.
guidance needed thank u.
