A 2hr exercise in parrsing HTML w/ Python to get the data from the HackADay Supercon schedule page into a machine parsable format.
I threw this together because i wanted to add a few workshops / talks to an iCal to help figure out which talks i'm going to miss for which workshops.
In. the future, it would be super awesome if conferences would just publish iCal/googlecal/VCS feeds directly!

Starting with just \none post per day, the energy of the Hackaday communty caused a \ntransformation from a blog to being the common link in the collective \nbrain of creative engineering. Join Hackaday Editor in Chief Mike Szczys\n as he recounts high points from the last fifteen years, and celebrates \nwhat Hackaday has become today.", | |

Arduino, MicroPython, \nCircuitPython, and MakeCode have been steadily making microcontrollers \neasier to use and more accessible for a number of years. While \nease-of-use is thankfully making embedded systems available to anyone, \nit means that writing optimized code still remains somewhat of a \nmystery, buried beneath layers of abstraction. In this workshop, we\u2019ll \nwrite a simple fading LED program using registers, timers, and \ninterrupts in an AVR ATtiny microcontroller. This workshop will help you\n understand some of the low-level, inner workings of microcontrollers \nand start to write space efficient and computationally quick code.", | |
