Working with / Importing (Football) CSV Packages into SQL DB with the sportdb gem(s)

Hello, I’ve written up / published a new from zero / scratch getting started guide for importing football.csv packages into an SQL database. The example uses all English football leagues, clubs and matches (from 1888-89 to today). The steps include: Step 0: Setup - Install the Sport.db Libraries ++ Step 1: Download (or Clone) the CSV Package / Datasets ++ Step 2: Add the Import / Build Script ++ Step 3: Kick off and Run. That’s it. Enjoy the beautiful game. Cheers. Prost.

wikiscript gem - scripts for wikipedia (get wikitext for page, parse tables, etc.)

Hello, I’ve updated the wikiscript library / gem that collects scripts for working with wikipedia articles (e.g. get / fetch the wikitext for a page, parse tables & links, etc. ). Note: I use wikiscript mostly for parsing section headings and tables (for football clubs from around the world), thus, that’s bascially all there is there for now. Happy data wrangling and text processing with ruby. Cheers. Prost.
