Web::Scraper talk in YAPC::Europe 2007

The talk went really well, with positive feedbacks from lots of people. The only problem is that I spent too much time (10 minutes) introducing the problem and had only 3 minutes to do the demonstration. Should have done the reharsal :/

The slides is available at http://www.slideshare.net/miyagawa/webscraper

I realize that the code snippet is displayed in funny fonts because I use Consolas with my powerpoint. Trying to reupload the file with Courier New. UPDATE: Now re-uploaded!

Neat stuff

The longer code examples are pretty much unreadable on the slide share. Web::Scrapper looks pretty cool though. I particularly like the idea of having a CLI. Wish I had seen this a few weeks ago.

To me the longer code is still readable as long as you can fullscreen it. Or at least you can download the original file as .ppt format. So if you have a viewer that can read powerpoint files ...

Yeah, I pretty much like the idea of CLI which I actually came up the day before the talk (yesterday), which turned out to be really useful for toying.

thanks for the talk!

i really enjoyed your talk and will definitely use your module the next time i have to do some web scraping.

thanks again for your talk and keep it up. i hope you got the needed energy to maintain all your modules (the slide with the listing was particularly impressive ;) )
