| Project Description:
We are seeking hourly programmers to work with our developer on a week by week basis. The Platform is mainly VB6, php/mysql and CodeJack. The application as it sits on our computers here, works much like IE would by itself. However, It can be completely manipulated from the outside the program. Complete access to almost all internal components exists, in an easy to manipulate way from either PHP, JavaScript, VBScript - or many languages. ... And yes, we do realize it is an odd combination of languages. Sports are our priority, which leads us into anything with numbers, stats, and data. FSW is our trademark for sports news and information. If you are interested in this project you can download the platform. The Sports Desk works in xp, 2k and Vista. The development of the platform is being developed in xp. Once you see and analyze our application if you are interested in working with us in the development? Please ask for an interview. Our file is 2.6 mb and that is as small as we are able to make it. We have to work with an agency in order to protect our intellectual property with the user agreement of this site and a non disclosure agreement with the parties that do business with and fsw. We work in vb6 php and code jack because that is what we are used to. The way vista is put together it is to difficult to develope in. Just too many controls. The problem: Browsers today, all of them, either do not allow you to access much of the workings in the app or the learning curve for building extensions is much too steep for most people to have time to do. Goal here with this application is two parts. The primary purpose is for a content delivery system. A very complete delivery system - that can also be utilized as a general browser. a very smart person would be able to analize everything here and have the needed information to re search. Analize our site efsw.com the download is there. Newly added descriptions: SportsDesk A universal software platform (Internet and intranet) that is expandable in application in any programing language. SportsDesk serves as a browser for content, application, delivery, with anything at all that can be done with everything that is present in all programing languages existing and to come. Sports Historical Stats & Results MLB stat queries down to the pitch (for 65% of the at-bats in history at this point) MLB result queries Every game in history Winning/Losing Pitcher Umpires Complete Play by Play (for over half of the games) Player/Team News News Appears as reported locally (will appear here before ESPN) Player Notes from multiple sources NFL, NBA, NASCAR, and other sports to follow the completion of MLB Search Currently the big three search engines are built in. New search engines can be added by anybody very easily Help for everything still needs to be written Beyond regular web search - the use of the search is unlimited. For example right now if someone wanted to do a search on a person, and get info on that person - you can pay $50+ per person to get that info. You would be paying $50+ to get information that is publicly available for free, but located all over the place and not conveniant to scour through. All those public information databases can be added to the search, in the end making a search for a person actually much more complete if done through the SportsDesk rather than paying $50+. To put it more broadly - any public (or private that one has access to) search can be added. Future This started as a way to be able to really dig into sports information. It started as a website and we quickly realized that a website just could not hand what we wanted to do. Right now we are concentrating on MLB stats and news. Everything that needs to be done for MLB is reusable for everything else. Think beyond the simple fact that baseball is a game. It could be demographics, court decisions, genealogy, economic data, medical libraries, laws - from city laws up on up to federal and beyond. Currently there is well over a billion individual fields and tens of millions of rows of information in the baseball databases. The amount of information just for baseball will at least triple by the time everything with baseball is done. Accessing that much info, getting exactly what you want, with just a few mouse clicks, typing a few words - is what the SportsDesk is all about. The same design structures that are needed for the vast amount of data available for a simple game is the same design type of design structures that will be needed for anything else with this much, or more, data. I personally have a strong interest in politics and currently that is what is planned on being added after sports. Where in baseball we have hits, runs, and wild pitches for stats... in politics we have election results, votes, budgets for stats. Adding in politics will actually accomplish adding in almost everything else. Just from my own personal quest for political information over the years I found that there is no field that I do not dig deep into. Many times I just cut short my own searches for information because I would get to a point where the amount of information I would need to look through was not something I could do in a few minutes (let alone days). Examples of stat data I have needed personally: Election results Votes/decisions by elected officials Census/Demographics Land Use Ag/Manufacturing Medical (specific disease/injury) Science Environmental Economic Numbers - Not even going to attempt to break this down any further. It would be a long list. Beyond the stat data, the player breakdowns we are doing for MLB is also directly applicable to politics. News is news - and would be needed for each person in the political arena. There are areas that would be unique to politics. New databases that have to be built, although they will be built by scripts - not by hand. Couple examples of databases that would have to built: Personally I have always wanted to know what a candidate or elected official has said or written on a specific subject in the past. I know that is something that basically everyone else that pays attention to politics is interested in also. The nice thing about the internet is that basically every single word these people utter gets documented these days. Now we just need to tie it all together. Building a database that references ever quote that can be found in news reports, every speech/press conference they have given, everything they have said on the floor of the House or the Senate, or in committee chambers, etc, etc. When done, one would be able to find out everything that a presidential candidate has said on a subject in the past. The second example would be the schedules of these people. The media and opponent campaigns many times will point out how many votes a person has missed. Sometimes, though rarely, it will also be reported what they were doing while that vote was being taken - and almost always when that is reported it’s because it can be used in a negative way against that official. So a timeline of sorts is needed for these people. For example roll calls are taken on the floor while committees are in session in a different room. Obviously that is not an example of someone not doing their job they were elected to do, but when presented as "this person missed x number votes" ... it comes across in a way that that person was not doing the job they were elected to do. The amount of data available across all spectrums of life almost seems endless. The problem is that because there is so much information out there, it almost becomes useless because a person just can not dig into and get what they want quickly. The amount of data is well beyond the ability of myself, and everyone else working on this project, to be able to build into being useable through the SportsDesk - even though it all, regardless of what it is, will be able to fit into the SportsDesk way of doing things in the end. We realized this early on and the single largest expenditure of time in the construction of this platform has been ensuring that anybody, with relative ease, can expand what the SportsDesk does. Every single bit of the SportsDesk can be accessed by others and used by others to add in more information, on any subject. Extensions, that do anything, can be added to the SportsDesk. An extension can be written from scratch in any language or an extension can be written that utilizes components of the SportsDesk in ways that even I could not have possibly imagined. The SportsDesk has a built in inter-application communication system that allows a stand alone program/extension to communicate directly with the SportsDesk. A new application/extension can directly call functions in the SportsDesk and the SportsDesk can directly call functions built into the new application/extension. (Note - this communication is direct - it does not use COM/ActiveX or anything else similiar to facilitate it) The side effect of building the SportsDesk in such a way that it is so useable is that without proper planning - it could be a security nightmare. The design of everything has been built in such a way to allow everything to be used by anything else .... as long as its allowed to. |
