In the previous article, I discussed the high-level architecture of the entire application. In this article, I will focus on the scraper service.

System Design:

To avoid distracting myself with too many actions that the scraper API could support, I chose to start small and extend it as needs arise.

Building the BotolaPro Fantasy App Part1: Scrapping the Base Data

Introduction:

If you are following my previous blogs, you may have noticed that i wrote a blog post about why i stopped watching football. You might be thinking: what is this guy doing? He Said he stopped watching football, and now he’s trying to build football game. Let me clarify why i’m doing this.

My main Goal is to learn about mobile application development. While exploring ideas, I realized that there is no fantasy app for the Moroccan Botola Pro League. I thought this could be a good exercise to apply the skills I will learn during my mobile development journey, and it also seemed quite challenging.

Backend Engineering from the first Principles

In this Era of AI, I often find myself reflecting on the software engineering field. I’ve observed several emerging patterns among new software engineers. Although i’m still a junior, I definitely see myself as part of that group.

New coming engineers are heavily relying on AI tools; however, they haven’t spent enough time building things that would give them the experience and knowledge needed to use those tools with real confidence. I’m referring to the core fundamentals of software engineering not frameworks or technologies that shift every few months.

HTTP WebServer

This project is about writing an HTTP server from scratch and learning about how the HTTP protocol works around the web. It’s a hands-on exploration of web server architecture, request handling, and protocol implementation.

Overview

Building an HTTP server from the ground up provides deep insights into how web applications communicate, how requests are parsed, and how responses are constructed and sent back to clients.

Features

HTTP request parsing
HTTP response generation
Static file serving
Support for multiple HTTP methods
Modular server architecture

Technologies Used

C++ - Core implementation language
HTML/CSS - Web content
Socket Programming - Network communication
Make - Build system
