YQL & PHP
Dustin Whittle (14.May.2010 at 11:30)
Talk at phpDay 2010 (English - UK)
YQL -- that's the Yahoo! Query Language, and not Lethbridge airport -- has been around for over a year and many people have built funky webapps with it. It's supposed to be the one API to handle all of the web's data, and its SQL like syntax means that you're thinking more about the kind of data you can get at rather than the code you need to battle to get at that data. From scraping data out of a web page using XPath, to pulling structured data from an RSS feed, to mashing up multiple sources, to creating your own sources, YQL lets you do it all, and can be a lot of fun to play with. In this talk, I'll go over some of the cool things I like about YQL and in the process, perhaps help you build apps rapidly and have some fun doing it.

Good talk which explains the YQL functionality very well. I was amazed at how many community contributed API's were already available, this makes it way more useful than in the early days of YQL. The ease of use (both in consuming and creating services) is definitely a strong point of the project, and Dustin managed to show this in an understandable way. Enjoyable talk!

Overall, it was a great talk. Hearing Dustin talk about Yahoo!'s webservices makes you want to go and try it out.

YQL is really the solution for many problems. Dustin this time spoke slowly enough to understand everything :P
Very good talk.
