I want to make a program that..

[BreakingBad]

I have some experience with VB, very limited with c++. Years ago to say the least, i started in VB when i was about 14 or 15 i would guess, and i'm now going on 21. i used VB 3-5.0..

here is something that has been nagging me. i want to make a program that will refresh a specific website and let me know if the account balance on it changes.

i want this for a couple of reasons..

main reason, right now:

- determine what specific time my checks hit the bank (since they are overnight)

also if i can work on my programming design the program to basically open the site in a "internal" browser and just have a timer set to auto-refresh the page every 15 minutes internally and if any amount changes are seen, to log the time it refreshed the page, the previous amount, the changed amount, etc.

i dont want to elaborate that much but i really would like a program to do this...

does one exist? (i doubt it)..

so.. to re-learn the skills necessary... where do i start? anyone have any ideas?

C++ is hard, stick with vb
