Follow on Google News | This Developer Wants To Open Source Stock ChartsBy: NorCal Press Kenneth Fam Wencong (http://famwencong.me/) Wencong's code is a dream for financial bloggers and others with any interest in businesses and the stock market. Users can create a stock chart for any given stock ticker that shows how the stock has performed over time. It's not only a pretty chart; the tool is interactive; Some advantages of using the software are: · Ease of Setup Simplestockcharts is meant to be a plug-and-play solution for financial bloggers and financial portals. With little programming knowledge, one can implement with easy setup. It is as easy as setting up Google Analytics. · The Service is Free There are few financial charting services on the market that can be exported to third-party sites; fewer of them offering their services without a fee. There are no watermarks on Simplestockcharts; · Native Browser Technology Running purely on JavaScript, the workload is done client-side. This reduces server load for publishers; this means that publishers can reach out to a larger audience without large investments in hardware. · Powered By Yahoo's YQL Powered by Yahoo!'s YQL, no external database is required. Hence, it can be used for almost any financial asset in the Yahoo! database. Financial bloggers that want to provide a detailed analysis of a given asset can easily use the tool to support their other content. Other solutions, open source or not, require a 3rd party data provider which can be extremely expensive. · Cross Browser Compatible Simplestockcharts was developed with HTML 5 and is compatible with all major browsers, so users will not have any problems with functionality. Wencong's application was developed simply, similar in case to a lot of excellent software because he noticed a requirement on the market. He was unable to find an open source tool that could do the task effectively. His personal story is inspirational to others. Wencong started his first job as a Fishmonger while schooling, and following the footsteps of the greats, he learned how to program himself. He follows the tradition of sharing code among developers and programmers. People are hoping that Wencong continues to do coding projects like Simplestockcharts in his spare time and then share them with the world.
