App

The base of the server, here you will be abe to find all of the routing used to serve pages as well as some helper programs.

• s.rb - The main file of the whole thing, this runs the server and managers requests

Internal

This is where most of the magic happens.

• parse.rb - This is where the timetable is parsed and turned into an easily navigatable object.
• cmd.py - This is where we generate the Lynx command script to get the timetable
• t.sh - This is the script that the cron manager on the server calls when it's time to get a new timetable

Views

All of the erb templates for pages that may be served up.

• Index - Is called when the user first lands on the page
• User - Is called when the user has supplied a valid student ID
• Feedback - Is called when the user needs to send feedback to us
