Proposal to include `speaker` into `conference_schedule`

[roflmaostc]

Hey,

as discussed in #25 here a proposal to include a filter for speaker.

Unfortunately, the pretty printing seems to be hard coded into today which makes it hard to easily add the functionality.

Therefore, I thought it would be OK to include that into the raw get_conference_schedule:

julia> JuliaCon.today(speaker="Felix")

Is that something you like?

Unfortunately, the pretty printing seems to be hard coded into today which makes it hard to easily add the functionality.

Can't you just centralize it into a function, say, _print_today_tables(....; output) and use it in both today and talks_by?

[roflmaostc]

The issue with today is that it only prints one day, right? So currently to filter the full schedule and printing it in a nice way would require to call today from the first day until the last day, wouldn't it?

Short summary:

• the speaker keywords in today are still there
• talks_by:

* refactored some parts like `legend` to external methods
* added `get_tracks` method to get a list of all possible tracks which can be passed to `today(track="Green")`.

[carstenbauer]

Personally, I wouldn't call / link this to today at all. This seems to just complicate things. In my eye, talks_by and today are orthogonal functions. One filters by time, the other by speaker. If they have common printing, put it in a separate function. If not, then not. Essentially, just put what you wrote in the issue into a talks_by function and print it more nicely than just returning the DataFrame. You don't have to use any fancy PrettyTables.jl for the printing (like today). You could do what now does just with a for loop that prints the filtered talks for example.

But if you think your current approach is better for some reason, I can also take a look at it later (will head for a lunch break now 😄).

[roflmaostc]

I'll try to come up with something (again) :smiley:

[roflmaostc]

Hm, changes quite a bit now.

Maybe we postpone that to after JuliaCon to prevent crashing anything? At least I'm doing fine with my local version :laughing:
