Denis Defreyne quiere dar esta charlaLet’s write a parser!
How do you communicate with a computer?
A vast amount of human-computer communication happens through structured data. There’s markup languages like Markdown and HTML, data interchange formats like JSON and XML, and programming languages like Ruby and JavaScript.
As a series of characters, data in such formats and languages mean nothing to a computer. To give the data meaning, a program called a parser needs to interpret the data and convert it into a meaningful structure.
Writing a parser is fun, and it is a good skill to have. This talk will explain how it works.
