HDip Major Project

My Major Project as part of my HDip in Computer Science (2002/03) was submitted on April Fools' Day 2003. The project was to build a website on which it is possible to book tickets for a fictional airline, based on the sites of the likes of Ryanair and Aer Lingus. It was done using Java Servlets with a MySQL database.

A feature of this project was the ability to fetch information from Ryanair's site in order to set up connecting flights.

Project Web Site:-
~ Unfortunately, the project itself is no longer still on the web
~ The original design document is still on the web, though the completed project did not necessarily follow it completely.

Resource Links:-
~ Java Almanac on regular expressions in Java
~ isavvix.com networking in Java (for using POST requests to sites)

Technologies' Documentation:-
~ J2SE 1.4.1 API Specification
~ J2EE 1.3 API Specification
~ MySQL Reference Manual
