This was a fantastic interview. I enjoyed it tremendously. Scraping, crawling, and gleaning data from markup are interesting topics, and it was refreshing to hear an insightful perspective on how this can be achieved.

Andy talked about using both C# and PHP (each for various components). I was curious if Andy has looked at QueryPath as a tool for retrieving HTML/XML data and then extracting information from it.
