Uses: VCL, HTTP, HTML Parsing, JavaScript, PHP server side script 

The program parses web pages from Romanian National Bank site (www.bnr.ro), offering to his users the latest currency ratings, among with a currency calculator, a very useful converter. The program was thinked as a low resource program, staying in the tray bar of the Windows, periodically checking BNR site and announcing the refreshing of currency courses. Also, it shows the trend of the user selected currency over the time, letting you know how it fluctuates to make your decision base on a market trend.

  The program is designed to be used as a simple, easy to use tool, providing without any previously knowledge of software usage the full functionality and power to the end user.

  Program has also enough options to allow user to customize the hours of refreshing infos on the BNR site, the visible currencies (although all are refreshed, user may want to see just a number of them), the program start, and the calculator part - a tool visible in the main window of program (in right-bottom corner), but also in a separate window, which can be set to become visible as user clicks on the tray icon.

  Also, the programs pops-up a hint when a new currencies ratings become available, letting user to know that he is able to see them.

 Also, a window that stays on top (Eye-on-the-ratings) allows user to see without loosing space, the latest ratings, also being shown if ratings are old or not, allowing him co concentrate on working with other programs, meanwhile consulting the ratings.

Server scripting side 

This program is addware, that means is free,but used as a tool of advertisement,composed from two main systems created by myself, for increasing flexibility:

- upper part, which permits showing banners of 468*60 pixels images and multimedia (eg flash movies), which has an own management system (refreshing time, address redirecting , on click and on show statistics) made dynamic with a PHP script;

- popups part - images and multimedia (eg flash movies), has too a management part, with settings like number of showings , order, positioning on screen, statistics on click and on show - currently deactivated.
