Information
This is the first of two applications which were created as part of a module assessment in my final year of university. The module this application was created for was called "Advanced Programming Environments", the aim of the module being to show how multiple programming languages can be used to create single applications. The assessment criteria was to create an application which would gather information from airport websites, then allow a user to run queries over the data to gain an insight into travel statistics from different airports and airlines.
This application was used for the information gathering sections of the project. It is designed to be ran at regular intervals to process the current flight information from the arrivals and departures boards of the selected airlines. The information from the airports websites is then saved in a CSV file which is updated through out the day. Which airport and whether to get the arrivals or departures data is set via calling parameters, I have also included a copy of the cron schedule I used when running the applications.
Features
- Airport and whether to check arrivals arrivals or departures is set using command line.
- Takes current online board information and copies it into a CSV file.
- Updates days files based on information current shown on the flights board.
- Can handle a variety of different information being shown on the flights boards.
