This is the introduction to a series of video tutorials that explain how to create an equivalent of fortune and cowsay for Windows.

This will be a program that picks a random quote and displays it on the screen as a "speech bubble" coming out of an animal. You'll see this every time you start the command line interpreter.

Among the covered subjects:
- collect quotes from Internet sites
- retrieving HTML
- analyzing HTML, extracting data from it
- store quotes in a database, SQLite
- ASCII art
- integrate this into CMD
- make an installer, WiX
