*All candidates must have excellent comm skills and be expert C++ Developers. *
*Location: Princeton, NJ* *Duration: 2+ Months* *Rate: $45+/hr* *Minimum Requirements: * Ideally, the candidate will have worked on such a project in the past. At the very least, the person will need to be very familiar with *web technologies, processes, and features*, such as: - HTML itself, and the parsing of HTML (such as is done by browsers) - XML - XSLT - Flash - Javascript - RSS - Strong C++ Additionally, the candidate will need *strong C++* skills, as that is the *core language* of the existing buildout of the crawling platform. Applicant must meet ALL of these requirements. Description: The project is to build a web crawler. The app we are creating will pull down very specific [new] files from specific sites. For example, when MSFT posts their most recent earnings report on their company site, the crawler will be expected to detect the presence of the new file, and download it. What is done with those files after they have been pulled down (e.g. - extraction of specific datapoints) will not be within the scope of this project. This project is only about the crawling. As such, logical activities of the crawling platform will be: - Scheduling of crawlings events - Crawling: Going out to sites and downloading files. We have experimented with home-grown code to do this, as well as open source software such as wget and curl - HTML parsing and conversion (we are using tools like tidy and XSLT) - Change detection: Figuring out when something new shows up on a site - Delivery: Once you have a new file that the end user cares about, putting it somewhere for them to get it Thanks & Regards, * * *Roshan Syed* NatSoft Corporation 32 Wernik Place,Suite # K Metuchen, NJ - 08840 Phone:732-476-6230 Fax: 732-909-2246 [email protected] www.natsoft.us <-www.natsoft.us> Y*!** *syed_roshan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Embedded_C++_VC++" group.
