In our June 23rd meeting, we will be talking about YQL (Yahoo Query Language), which is a little like Yahoo Pipes on steroids where you can construct queries that essentially select * from internet source. It’s a powerful tool that is worth learning. We will also be learning about Gnip, another powerful tool where you can access data from various web services across the internet and integrate the data together to use in other ways.
