Hi, Better late than never, as they say ... Hope I'm still on time :) *#1 Scraping A Cookbook *I recently got a chance to convert a live web site ( http://www.anonymous.org.il) into an iPhone app. The process involved deciding which parts will go into the app, how it will look, and scraping the content to an SQLite db that was to be deployed on the iPhone (along with an app). In the talk, I will present some of the perls I used to get/convert the textual and image data, and use them to talk about XPath, DOM and SAX for digging the "right" data.
Duration: flexible (will be fun either in a 10 minutes format or a 40 minutes). Shlomi - I wasn't familiar with HTML::TreeBuilder::LibXML, but I must say the performance issues I did stumble on were not the result of xpath but rather originated in network. *#2 Perling in vim* The vim editor is (still) getting popular by the minute. In this talk, I take the vim as a primary perl IDE. I will demonstrate how to customize vim to work better with perl, integrating Perl::Critic, perltidy, and other compilation checks in the coding process. Additionally, will talk about some vim plugins (tSkeleton, snipMate) and how to use them in compliance with perl's best practices. Duration: 30-40 Minutes Cheers, Ynon
