Hello,
I would like to build a site like this one: China Post Tracking

I vote "5" for the question -- could make quite a useful application.

1 solution

You need to know the following minimum: HTML (XHML), Javascript (very likely also Ajax) plus at least one of server-side technologies and supporting HTTP server modules.

Viable examples of server-side technologies include ASP.NET (you need IIS or maybe Apache with mod_mono), Python with WSGI, PHP, etc.
[EDIT] ...come to thing about, just a client side could be enough.

I don't know about concrete tracking services you want to use. Actually, it can be useful application — to put all tracking one uses in one place. I would suggest you visit each individual Web page provided by each delivery service company and look at the page source. It usually gives a good clue. After all, you do not require anything beyond the client-side operation.

Good luck!

Typo (APS.NET) :-)

Or, I've written a hybrid of APS and UPS (parcel service) :-)
Thank you a lot.

Added update on how to look for concrete services' operation.
