Tennis on Campus Counter – XML Style

When I first started Tennis on Campus Counter, I put the scraped information into a comma separated for processing by the PHP scripts. This changed a few days ago however.

I recently dug deeper into the world of XML and started to think about how it could be of use to me. In the past I had always used XML for something someone else started. After I thought about it, I realized that TOC Counter was the perfect place for this. As such, I set about converting it to XML.

This ended up being a very simple process. The PHP parsing code is also now cleaner. Overall I was very impressed with how handy XML was.

Tennis on Campus Counter 2.1

Following the 2.0 rewrite of the data gathering tools,  I am ready to release TOC Counter 2.1.  This release does one major feature and several minor ones.  Check out the list below for more information.

  • Schools by state.  The scrapper now pulls in what state each school is in, allowing us to put together some comparisons between all of the states.  Data will start coming in 12/01/2009 with state information, and at that time you will see the new state information and statistics.
  • Chart size adjustments.  The charts have been widened and shortened allowing us to view them a little better :) .
  • Individual Charts.  Profiles now contain a chart of team number history if the team has any history of their roster number changing.
  • Standardized Tables.  All tables now look the same, and have the same sorting feature.
  • Several bug fixes.
