(Ab)using the /unix pipeline pattern/ and YAML structured data to make the automation of Microsoft Powerpoint presentations (nearly) bearable

To add a paper, Login.

A practical demonstration of using the unix pipeline pattern with structured data encapsulated as YAML to drive the (very un-unix-like) automation of Microsoft Powerpoint Presentations.

Key advantages of this approach will be discussed and demonstrated. Also you'll be able to laugh at Microsoft when Powerpoint crashes.


Keywords: Perl, YAML, pipe insanity
Stream: Perl
Presentation Type: 30 minute Paper Presentation in English
