Product Description

Review

"When I got this book, I couldn′t put it down. A lot of computer books sit on the shelf or send me to sleep, but not this one. Not only is it both topical and useful, but it hits a just–about–ideal balance between code and food for thought. The author has a real knack for useful solutions to complex problems." (www. Java Ranch 17 May 2002)

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting material on how to extract data from the Web., 14 Oct 2008

By	Mr. Jeremy Flowers "Working on Grails portal" (Milton Keynes, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Tony came up with an ingenious way to parse HTML and convert the DOM model of an HTML page into a string which can then be then be queried.
He provides a tool to view the strings which can then be selected and use wildcards to bring back similar sets of data. You end up being able to create a SQL like syntax to pull out the data. Cool stuff.
The portal stuff looked a bit dated, but the book had a few of extra bits that I wish more authors would follow suite and do:
1) Include imports statements. Which is a particular bug bear I have with so many APress books.
2) Provide a summary at the end of the chapters briefly describing the API's
3) Include comments at the top of the source code to indicate the name of the artifact and where it is in the source directory. I'd always thought I do this if ever I get around to writing a book myself. It's the first book I've read that does it. A man after my own heart. :)
