Covid-19 Funding: This project was built using Netbeans web applications with an Apache TomCat backend server. The backend consisted of Java with htmlunit as the web scraper to consistently gather statistics from various websites, such as Google tracking of COVID-19 and the website for the American Hospital Directory. Java servlets were used to communicate the gathered statistics and display them on our frontend html website. Javascript was also used in our backend to interact with the DOM elements of web pages and in our frontend to power our website.
Getting Started: Go to file > new project > Java With Ant > Java Web > Java Web Applications. Make sure you have the htmlunit library donwloaded and set up. Copy and paste this code in the designated source folders with index.html going under Web Application > Web pages to run the websites.
