Using YQL by Guilherme Chapiewski (Yahoo)

The Yahoo! Query Language - YQL - is an expressive SQL-like language that lets you query, filter, and join data across web APIs. With YQL, your apps can run faster with fewer lines of code and a smaller network footprint. YQL is specially useful when you want to hack or even build production-grade apps using a number of different publicly-available APIs with very fast bootstrap time and very little effort. This talk will guide you through the basics of YQL and will get you ready and in the best position to win any hack competition ;)
