This scrapes UMD's course catalog (every 15 minutes via cron
) to keep an eye on what classes students are interested in.
This data is fed into influxDB, and will be used in the future to analyze patterns in course selection at UMD.
I didn't want to miss out on the beginning of course selection, so I didn't implement multitasking properly. Depending on the quality of the data I've gotten so far, I might redo this in Go to take advantage of goroutines.
