speakers_data.csv

This is a very small but powerful example of how to use Groovy SimpleTemplateEngine, CSVParser and Slugify libraries to generate the HMTL for every speaker page for the Greach Conference.

Run:

groovy SpeakersPageGenerator.groovy

It will print the HTML needed to create the pages using the speakers_data.csv file. In this example I only show 3 talks. You can check them only here and see that the source code is the same as the script generates.
