Keeping up with Java

With the fantasy golf season underway, understanding the technology is just as fun as choosing a golfer who finishes in the top 10. I'd think the technology is pretty much simple. Pick a golfer, the match is played, golfer's finish in a particular order. Finally, your pick result is posted. So off I went to create a similar, yet crude version of this as a programming exercise.

Things needed:

1. Application to download the web page with the data into a text file (url reader).

2. Application to parse out that text file into just the players.

- Players are in the tournament finishing order.

- The text file will be a csv file, suitable for import into an sqlite database using a firefox plugin.

3. Application that will automate the importing of the data into that sqlite.

So that is where I'm at for now. It will be worked on a little later when I feel like doing some java / sql programming again. It is fun, just need to do something different.
