Screen-scraping Websites: Techniques for automating and extracting information from the web - Thursday, June 13th, 2013 at 18h00
Detroit Area Fox User Group (DAFUG) presents:
1) "Screen-scraping Websites: Techniques for automating and extracting information from the web" by Paul Mrozowski
Paul will demo a few of the techniques he uses for figuring out how to automate and extract information from websites and why you might want to do something like that.
2) "Dynamic Forms from VFPX" by Rick Schummer
How many times in your career have you created a form as a one-time display of some details, collect some criteria, or message your users? How many times have you "cheated" and used the INPUTBOX() function to prompt the user to enter in some information to conditionally control the remaining code in the program because a full-fledged form seemed like overkill? This is a perfect situation for the new Dynamic Forms project available on VFPX.
3) Anything else people want to talk about.
Are you interested in presenting to DAFUG? Show off something cool in software development you believe your peers might be interested in hearing about? We are always looking for volunteers and topics.
