Case Study
I was called in by Disbranded to help integrate the Combos product locater. At the time M&M/Mars was using a third-party vendor to provide a locater service to all of their existing brands. The problem was that this service was obsolete, not customizable, and rendered the location results in HTML. Since Disbranded had beautifully redesigned the site in all flash they wanted the product locater results to also appear embedded within the flash site. My duty was to build a tiny service to proxy the HTML results via screen scraping and return them to the new site in a structured formated XML document.
Actual Combos bag.
