Hi guys,
During these long holidays I wanted to be productive so I decided to work on one of my ideas. The problem is a lot of it is in unexplored territory, which is creating a website. I don't know anything about webdesign and I only know basic SQL with access. The webdesign is a concern for a later stage.
My main priority atm is building the database and the database will mainly comprise of information on products. I am getting this information by copying it off sites by accessing the page source code in java, taking the key information with regex and updating my access database using SQL. The manual labour involves me copying down the URLs of each product page.
Do you guys think this is the best method of obtaining the information? Also, what software and languages do you recommend I will need for using this data to make a webpage. I am willing to learn a new language if need be.
Thanks in advance.
Nicko
