But What to Design?
I designed a CGI program that would do the following things:
- Query the Port Authority web page (using the sockets API) and download the outgoing schedules (in HTML) for all the busses that can bring me home from school.
- From the results, parse out the times for the stop at Forbes and Bigalow (where I get on the bus).
- Find the next time the bus will be arriving and return those times to a browser.
The program runs on Windows NT Personal Web Server in my office.
