A quick glance to my previous posts would show my liking to insightful quotes. I admire those who had the wonderful ability to recite them by memory.

Unfortunately, I have never possessed such a dazzling memory. Thus, I seek the ability to making quotes accessible hoping to increase my ability of sounding more insightful.

The example I am about to introduce, elaborates on one of my favorites C# open source libraries I have found – the HTML Agility Pack. This is a .NET code library that allows you to parse "out of the web" HTML files. The parser is very tolerant with "real world" malformed HTML. The object model is very similar to what proposes System.Xml, but for HTML documents.

I used HTML Agility Pack and SQLlite, in order to build a lightweight database that I could utilized in my mobile application. SQLlite is used constantly in mobile applications today, thus it is a good storage technology to be informed about.

The iOS application, in this post was built by using a JavaScript open source library named PhoneGap and Jquery Mobile. PhoneGap enables you to build iOS and Android applications via Javascript and a UIWebView Control.

In a later posts, I may introduce the discussion on creating Jquery Mobile controls on the mobile applications. However, In this post I will stay within the scope of the HTML Agility Pack Library.

If you were to build a SQLlite table similar to the one presented in this post, and if building it from a .NET application, It is important to download the SQLite drivers for .NET and the SQLlite Browser
