Replaced GWT application that was used to display historical charts for EUR/AUD exchange rate. The new version uses jQuery and is much simpler and more effective.
The main reason for the change is that the old version could not be seen in the mobile Opera browser while the new version works perfectly.

VanguardPrices Deployed

2009-04-14T15:34:00.001+10:00

A new application has been deployed. This time it is VanguardPrices. I have finally implemented the engine in Java instead of Python. Found out a good XML parsing library and figured out how to use it. Now the Java version retrieves the page and parses out the current price.

There is also a sample of UI, using Google Web Toolkit. It is a default page but I have created the structure of folders and files by hand. Now what is left is to utilize the calendar and other UI elements for interaction with users.

Overall, I’m very happy with Google frameworks and plugins for Eclipse…
