TIVOO Technical Resources

Note, you must check with the course staff before choosing to use any open source software, not listed below, to help you complete this project. Our general guidelines are that approved software will provide limited help to solve a small technical challenge, such as parsing XML, representing Time, converting text to a graphical representation, or making testing easier, but not that resolves a key design decision, such as converting XML directly to HTML, providing a search framework, or significantly simplifying or eliminating GUI code.
