Notes
Uses Watir to control a web browser to download all VMworld 2014 content.
The team at VMware has contracted with a third party to provide VMworld content. As such, the content portal now uses Mediasite Catalog by Sonic Foundry. This catalog software utilizes a lot of Javascript to build the page and navigate.
It does not appear this change was not intended to dissuade downloading of materials. https://twitter.com/VMware/status/515638081488056320
To use the script just change your first and last names and email address on the first few lines.
Requires the 'watir-webdriver', 'phantoms', and 'progress bar' gems.
Todo:
- Threaded downloads
- Replace sleeps with content or page load detection
Would that go between line 6 and 7 or thereabouts?
