Description:

CSE News is an application created to help Computer Science Engineering Students of UOI (University of Ioannina) stay updated with the department's news. It also provides some other small services, such as opening the most common websites or a professor's website with a single click. It runs in Tray System and informs the user about any departmental news. For now it has only been tested in Windows 7 Ultimate x64 but it should run just as fine on any Windows version.

How it works:

It parses periodically the HTML code of the main announcements page and stores them locally. In case of any change the user gets informed with a small popup message. Once in 60 days, it parses the professors list (again from departments main website) and stores their information locally aswell. All data are being saved in C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\CSE News\.
