Set of scripts for parsing, saving (web scraping) and uploading to a personally-owned database all the cultural events listed in the Catalan Government's website http://agenda.cultura.gencat.cat/ Also, once we have all that data, use it in a social network style website (intended to be named mercatcatala.cat) for editing, commenting, liking/disliking, etc. the events among the website users. The project was submitted as an ending to a set of technical courses that occur in Spain between High School and College.
- Languages and techniques used: PHP, Javascript, Ajax, SQL, HTML, CSS
- Libraries used: script.aculo.us, Snoopy
A fairly detailed description of the code structure can be found at Memòria_escrita.pdf, although it's in Catalan.
Also, a document (in Catalan) showing the necessary steps to follow in order to set up the project into your own web server, can be found at LLEGEIX-ME.txt
