Computational Media - Parsing data
With an assignment to parse data from either a local or an online data source, I decided to try both and to work with text. I tried two simple experiments. The first was to take the text of Tony Blair's recent speech to the Labour Party conference and to search it for three individual keywords. The full content of his speech is printed in the background, while each instance of the keywords is printed in the foreground.
Here's a screen shot of the program running.
The second was to perform a crude parsing of the database of civilian casualties listed by the website iraqbodycount.org.
