A GPS diary in four weeks with Play!

During the last four weeks I did another small project for one of my university courses this semester. The course was about ORM modelling and abstractions for databases. We did some exercies with Hibernate and discussed diefferent aspects about ORM modelling. At the end of the course, every student made a small web-project using a […]

Our project is still online […]

Extracting meaningful content from raw HTML

Parsing HTML is easy. Libraries like Beautiful Soup give you an compact and straight forward interface to process websites in your preferred programming language. But this is only the first step.

Thomas’ Functional Interpreter

The whole project is written in Java 7 and provides an interface to all Java classes on the class-path, too. I also tried to create a small IDE […]
