Web Application - Tracking stock quotes

843842Feb 23 2009 — edited Feb 24 2009
I'm assigned this project and I have no idea where to start. For the most part, I think I'm capable of carrying out most of these instructions aside from extracting the stock information from the google page. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Here's the parameters:

Write a web application to allow users to keep track of stock quotes. You application must have:

- Acquire user email
- allow user to add new stock symbols
- display: current price, opening price, day high, day low, 52 week high, 52 week low, and day
volume of each provided stock symbol. The current price (or last price) must be
accompanied by the daily percentage change and must be in red if is lower than the opening
price.
‐ Allow user to specify how often the page is refreshed. By default, it should refresh every 2
minutes

+ server back end:
‐ Send an email to the acquired email every time the list of stock symbols changed. This email
should provide a link such that when it is clicked, the user will be presented with all the
stock quotes
‐ Keep track of the user, when they navigate away from the page, they should not be allowed
to view the quote again.
Note: the stock quote can be obtained from Google finance at http://finance.google.com/finance?q=xyz
Replace xyz from the above URL by any stock symbol to get its quote
