----------------------------
Scrapers/Crawlers
----------------------------
* Crawling/Scraping/Parsing info from websites which:
- Don't provide APIs
- Requires decaptching, using online decaptching services like:
* [login to view URL] ($2 per 1000 recognized captchas)
* [login to view URL] (Even cheaper)
* [login to view URL] (A little more expensive)
- Are classical HTML websits that can be accessed directly and see the code without problems>
- Requires using other methods (POST,..) instead of GET to retrieve the information
- Show the data dynamically using JavaScript, AJAX,...
- Requires signing in before navigating & managing cookies
Some of those sites are:
- Google Products ([login to view URL])
- [login to view URL]
- [login to view URL]
- [login to view URL]
- [login to view URL] (Amazon Products Price Tracking)
- [login to view URL] (Sports Betting -> Horse racing, Football, Boxing,...)
- [login to view URL]
- [login to view URL]
- <font color="#404040" size="1">[login to view URL]</font>

Good practices in software engineering,
team programming and software development
in general
----------------------------
* Design patterns knowledge
* SOLID Principle
* Designing applications (both architecture & software design), mainly using an Agile strategy
* Writing good source code (modular, orthogonal,...), taking in count the principles:
* DRY: Don't Repeat Yourself
* DIE: Duplication Is Evil
* YAGNI: You Ain't Gonna Need It
* Test Driven Development (TTD) experience
* Deliver almost all my applications with the corresponding unit tests
* Follower of the Agile (XP, Scrum,...) principles (fast delivers,...)
