Hi!
Lunch time
Friday, 1 May 2009

Starting with a story... It was lunch time.
2pm
Friday, 1 May 2009

It was well and truly past eating time
1 Hour
Friday, 1 May 2009

I had one hour. What do you do?
Code lunch

Friday, 1 May 2009

No need for eating. What will I do?
Sinatra
                       http://sinatrarb.com




Friday, 1 May 2009

We use Sinatra!
Yahoo Pipes
                             http://pipes.yahoo.com




Friday, 1 May 2009

Annd data from other peoples websites. No RDBMS for me!
Yahoo Pipes
                     •   Get data from multiple
                         web based sources

                     •   Mash it up a bit

                     •   Provide a single output
                         in either JSON or XML

YQL
Friday, 1 May 2009
YQL?
Friday, 1 May 2009

Yeah, its kinda SQL for the web. Most people don’t even really like writing SQL
@lachlanhardy


Friday, 1 May 2009

Lachlan convinced me to have a second look at YQL after slagging it o
Time to start

Friday, 1 May 2009

The code isn’t important, but basically it just talks to a yahoo pipe that I made up.
Friday, 1 May 2009

I made “munch”. It pulls from various recipe and cooking related web sites like taste.com.au
and friends. It reads RSS and scrapes sites. Pretty simple.
2:46pm
Friday, 1 May 2009

46 six minutes later. I’d been eected.
“I need a new
                        web site”
                        - Me, probably avoiding real work




Friday, 1 May 2009

I wanted to blog about this, sadly my blog is cached files sitting on a slicehost account.
Mephisto isn’t even running any longer.
Friday, 1 May 2009

I quickly threw a grid together.
HTML5
Friday, 1 May 2009

I wanted to experiment.
Sinatra
Friday, 1 May 2009

a bit more sinatra.
Friday, 1 May 2009

I knew that I didn’t want to write everything then link it in to my blog, I wanted to write it
once and be able to keep it updated.

Friday, 1 May 2009

of course, I could’ve just got a tumblr account. That didn’t let me use sinatra or mess around
with HTML5.

Friday, 1 May 2009

The yahoo pipe looked like this. A bit of a mental leap.
Friday, 1 May 2009

Some things stood out. like union, I could join multiple sources of data together and output
them as one
Friday, 1 May 2009

or sort them by the publication date
Friday, 1 May 2009

and filter out the tweets to people. Sure a regex would’ve been smarter, but this was 90%
good enough
Friday, 1 May 2009

I started thinking about my process, the data coming from all over the place.
“What if I could
                     write something
                       like pipes?”

Friday, 1 May 2009

I wanted to do something myself (again)
“What if I could
                 write a ruby block
                   based DSL?”


Friday, 1 May 2009

I’d never written one, totally a good time to jump right in head first.
“What if you got
                      plain old Ruby
                         objects?”

Friday, 1 May 2009

If the data returned could be ruby, irrespective of what format it started as... it would be
awesome
Or JSON

The whole point of this was to bring these multiple feeds together, re interpret them as one

It gives us this

We can also output JSON

Its string escaped and not worth reading, but you could pass this through a web based app
straight down to javascript

Friday, 1 May 2009

Methods can also be chained without invoking a new source or joining sources together

YQL
                     Definitions

Friday, 1 May 2009

I’m looking at adding support for YQL definitions
Friday, 1 May 2009

They look like this, I’ve never written one, but it doesn’t look too hard. You can add search to
your own preexisting site / rss etc
http://github.com/spullara/yql-tables




Friday, 1 May 2009

There are a collection of community provided yql definitions hosted on github
All
                        these
                      fucking
                     web sites


Friday, 1 May 2009

Need I say more?
My message

Friday, 1 May 2009

Forgetting all the stu about pipes, yql and smoke, I want you to try something
“Re-interpret
                       the web”

Friday, 1 May 2009

Reconsider data, re-represent it to your own needs.
