IPolling and Feedback (XML, AJAX, and Perl)
Presenter: Daniel Frommelt
Description: Understanding your users can be a tricky business. The best way to find out what they think is to collect a little bit of information from them in an unobtrusive manner. Get your users opinions with a poll, all generated by a simple XML file. Create a small feedback form that will gather user's feedback on an individual page and store it in a XML file. The feedback XML file can be immediately viewed to generate an instant report using XSLT and CSS. Both polling and feedback are based on simple XML, AJAX, and Perl. See how simple it is to accumulate information about your site and see what your users "really" think about the site. Sample files will be made available for the participants to review.
