Currently I am helping a professor develop an app that will pull names from a list of war casualties and display them for brief periods of time. The names need to come from a database that my (not so tech-savvy) professor can add to and edit.
Currently I have the application reading names from the rss feed of a Blogger page. To add new names, my professor simply has to post a new name to the blog, and the app continually updates each time it is run. The program runs great but the problem is that with Blogger, only the latest 24 or so posts (names) appear, and there are well over a hundred names...
I was wondering if anyone knew of a good way for an application to pull specific strings (names) from an online source that can be easily updated by someone with absolutely zero programming skills or if there was anyway to access an ENTIRE rss feed (not just the latest entries). I know this may be a question for the XML library forum, but I was thinking maybe the solution does not lie in an rss feed...
