My Lottery Program Part 4
May 12th, 2007 by Brian A. Thomas
Continuing my updates on the progress of my Lottery Program, I recently got it to parse the Mega Millions website to get the latest numbers. Basically it gets a text file, which I have yet to get the program to extract just what I want, but I am making progress slow and sure. I am a little rusty as I haven’t been programming like I should on a constant basis. It got me to break out Murach’s C# 2005 and Visual C# 2005 How to Program (2nd Edition) (How to Program)
, two great books on learning C# (I am guessing they both will be updating for Visual Studio 2007/2008 whatever it may be called, since there seems to be some major advances coming with it).
I really could use winning a small sum from the lottery myself. Beyond the need for new(er) cars, I could also use a good laptop so I could work on my programming lessons and stuff while away from the main PC (such as spending the day at Borders, or during my breaks at work and so on).
