====================================================<BR>

Tuesday, May 20th, is the next meeting of the THE SEATTLE PERL<BR>
USERS GROUP.<BR>
<BR>
Please note that there is a new meeting location this month. See below<BR>
for directions.<BR>
<BR>
The WhitePages.com API exposes our basic query types via a REST<BR>
interface, allowing any developer to create mashups or stand alone<BR>
applications of their own. It is built on a solid and extensible OO<BR>
framework which handles simple Apache requests, data retrieval, and<BR>
returns a multitude of formats. Dan will be talking about the generic<BR>
aspects of the framework as well as some of the specifics of its<BR>
development.<BR>
<BR>
Dan Sabath is an underemployed Marine Biologist working as a software<BR>
engineer at WhitePages.com on the backend search team. Dan first wrote<BR>
some Perl in 1995 but really came to love it working with data<BR>
transformation for his thesis. His most recent project has been<BR>
developing the WhitePages.com API.<BR>

Due to all of the shopping around us there is plenty of parking<BR>

the evening.<BR>

See you there!<BR>
