remarks on building a trading application on linux

Trader (googlefied)

I decided to add a new module to my application to allow users to manage portfolios from other sources. My first such source was google portfolios because there’s a well-documented api for google finance.

Well, after a couple of hours of reading the apis for libcurl, json_spirit and testing, I have successfully added google portfolios to my application. You provide your email and password and it will authenticate with google and retrieve your portfolios, complete with transactions and positions.
