- Python was used to parse the web schedules posted at Caltrain.com. The html tables weren’t identical and some tags were missing as well. Also, the times were in 12hr format without am/pm.
- iUI was used for the nice sliding effects and UI’s look and feel.
- PHP is used to dynamically generate the search form (to remember the last trip) and search results, and to redirect iPhone users to the app.

Thought I’d share the email->Twitter interface that I have set up with the intent of providing Caltrain service alerts. http://cow.org/c/ has the details and http://twitter.com/caltrain is the Twitter account to follow.
