Simple PowerShell script to pull the DevLink agenda.

Get-DevLinkAgenda.ps1

# NOTE: Only worked for DevLink 2013

$agenda = Invoke-RestMethod http://www.devlink.net/agenda.json
$speakers = Invoke-RestMethod http://www.devlink.net/speakers.json
$location = Invoke-RestMethod http://www.devlink.net/api/info/locations.json

$fullAgenda = $agenda | foreach {
    # normalize the times to be datetime types
    $startTime = ([DateTimeOffset]::Parse($_.start_time)).DateTime
    $endTime = ([DateTimeOffset]::Parse($_.end_time)).DateTime

    $entry = $_.entry

    # speaker lookup
    $foundSpeaker = $speakers | where { $_.id -eq $entry.speaker_id }

    $foundRoom = $location | where { $_.id -eq $entry.location_id }

    $speaker = ''
    if ($foundSpeaker -ne $null) {
        $speaker = $foundSpeaker.name
    }

    [PSCustomObject] @{
        Title = $entry.title;
        Speaker = $speaker;
        Summary = $entry.summary;
        Location = $foundRoom.name;
        StartTime = $startTime;
        EndTime = $endTime;
    }
}

$fullAgenda

This is just something I threw together to help me get the sessions so that I could plan out my trip. Oh, and it was totally unnecessary.

Just drop it in a folder and run it. Writing a module would have been overkill for this.

Example usage:

# pull all sessions for 8/30
$agenda = .\Get-DevLinkAgenda.ps1
$agenda | where { $_.StartTime.Date -eq '8/30/2013' } | Format-Table

Sample (trimmed) output:

Title                  Speaker               Summary               Location              StartTime             EndTime
