This list served quite some people but someone else did a better job since.

Go to https://github.com/umpirsky/country-list for a list in your language and format.

Source: http://superuser.com/questions/360434/any-way-to-save-all-psd-layers-separately

Imagemagick will by default convert a psd to multiple images:

convert file.psd file.png
will result in file-0.png, file-1.png etc for each layer. If you wanted a single image, use the flatten switch:

convert file.psd -flatten file.png
Imagemagick is available on osx, windows and linux. And iOS somehow.

Have you ever wanted to get a specific data from another website but there's no API available for it? That's where Web Scraping comes in, if the data is not made available by the website we can just scrape it from the website itself.

But before we dive in let us first define what web scraping is. According to Wikipedia:

{% blockquote %} Web scraping (web harvesting or web data extraction) is a computer software technique of extracting information from websites. Usually, such software programs simulate human exploration of the World Wide Web by either implementing low-level Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), or embedding a fully-fledged web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. {% endblockquote %}
