After I wrote my last blog entry "Hover Me – A Social Media Dashboard" that I got to thinking about the power of the modules and realized that there is a special power that is available in modules that operate in the cloud.
First of all, makes a little debate on Empire Avenue module of what Ed API current Empire Avenue does not seek information from Twitter, only by the Avenida Empire ID identifier. Ed discovered that I could use the site to do so, he used Kynetx essentially do escape a little screen to obtain the data and return it. KRL, kinetic language of rule, has built-in tools that make that pretty easy. ED was essentially built an API from a Web site.
The problem is, of course, anytime is scraping the Web site, is subject to the vagaries of HTML on the page. If the structure changes substantially, it is already in trouble. ED has two weapons in its arsenal to protect that: (a) a query language such as jQuery to select parts of the page that allows you to get the data you need without over-specifying and (b) the cloud.
Nature based on modules in KRL cloud is important so it makes it Ed If the Empire Avenue changes the structure of the page beyond the selector of Ed wrote it can handle, you can upgrade the module and everything that depends on it will start working again. Now, of course, this is what all we love the cloud, but I didn't think about how it applies to the development - and especially modules - so far. There is great power in the creation of modules that operate in the cloud.
