Final Individual Iteration

Well, I see some poeple have really fancy things for their iterations. Unfortunatelly, I am not one of them. I went with the minimum requirements. Actually I did not have much time to work on the bugs I was getting, so I decided to go with just plain xml RSS feed.

As you will see I kept what I had from the last iteration which was pulling name and time from a blog. the only thing I changed on is that I segmented it better where I put some spacing and also included more information. It is nothing fancy, but I hope this part would be safficient to get me through this iteration.

Another, item that I added was a RSS feed from the website called indeed.com. I mentioned in my last blog that this is a tool searching for jobs, that incorporates all job sites, meaning that throught indeed.com you can actually search simultaniusly in sits like monster, and dice, cereerbuilder. What I did is that I preset the search requirements for an IT job with yearly salary over a $100 000 in michigan. You would be surprised but there were quite a few. So I did try to pull just listing and the description for the particular RSS, but I kept having different error. So i have decided to have something working rather than something does not display anything with errors. So this is what I have.

    I was having trouble parsing my XML too. I used the XML DOM parsing information from the w3c schools site to give me guidance. It only took 3 lines of simple code on my display function in my javascript to get it to work. Check it out if you want: http://www.w3schools.com/Dom/dom_parser.asp

  4. Ivaylo,

    I also had problems and went the simple route. I asked for help from my team. Parsing an XML file (RSS Feed) seemed like an easy thing to do but as it turned out, it took me a while to get through it.
