PHP Quebec: Microformats

January 12th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

Sarven Capadisli presented “Interacting with microformats” at the PHP Quebec’s January meeting. Microformats are basically a way to convert existing HTML pages into APIs without much effort. You use mostly the class attribute to mark up your HTML so that contact/calendar/atom/etc. could be extracted from it.

A very well structured presentation with cool examples. Read the slides here:

    Give the Operator extension for Firefox a go:

    you’d be surprised how many sites out there already make use of these formats
