Very excited to see you guys are giving this a shot. Some more food for thought...
Break up your tasks into very small, simple problems. Don't think scheduler or financial system yet... think very small to start. Try to think of all the little problems that you will encounter first. Some suggestions:
- Learn basic xml parsing: Import fight result xml and display various metadata on screen(like who won the fight and how)
- Create an application domain: Fighters have many Fights, Fights belong to Fighters. Build fighter and fight models based on these associations.
- Export several fight xml's from TBCB and consume in your app
- Save your model data to some sort of datastore (sqlite?)
- Do some basic manipulations on the data you have captured
- etc.
Have you guys considered doing this as a web app? I think it might be substantially easier to pull off. Lots of potential either way you go. I'm not a VB developer (or even a windows user), but I can give you guys some guidance if you'd like.
