Paid on delivery
Ruby/RoR Developer for price comparison web site Initially , I need a developer who can set up a framework for scraping pricing and other information off a number of web sites (using Ruby and Ruby libraries such as Hpricot, scrubyt, scrapi etc) and store the information in a DB (Oracle) . For each website, an example of the information to get will be provided. Up to 20 web sites will be provided with instuctions for each. The accuracy of the information is paramount so the framework must be robust as well as indicating when the underlying website structure changes (via a simple web front end to indicate success/failure). Developer will need experience with creating testing suites. The web scraping code must be well commented so it can be maintained easily if/when websites change. Detailed specs of all these functions will be available by the time a provider is selected. Then I will need a simple web front end to present the information using Ruby on Rails (specs to be fleshed out once the web scrapers are built). I anticipate a few weeks to get the base site up and running and then the development of further modules/content. Skills : Primarily Ruby, Ruby on Rails along with HTML, CSS, SQL so only providers with good Ruby and Rails skills will be considered . Platform will be Linux. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows? (depending on the nature? of the deliverables): a)? For web sites or? other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be delivered by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment with installation instructions . b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software? installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). ## Platform Ruby Ruby On Rails Linux Red Hat Oracle 10
