Perhaps the most explosive technological trend over the
past two years has been blogging. As a
matter of fact, it's been reported that the
number of blogs during that time has grown
from 100,000 to 4.8 million.
What's the technology that
makes blogging tick? The answer is RSS -
a format that allows bloggers to offer XML-based
feeds of their content. It's also the same
technology that's incorporated into the websites of media
outlets so they can offer material (headlines, links,
articles, etc.) syndicated by other sites. As the
main technology behind this rapidly growing field of
content syndication, RSS is constantly evolving to keep
pace with worldwide demand.
That's where Developing Feeds with
RSS and Atom steps in. It provides bloggers,
web developers, and programmers with an explanation of
syndication in general and the most popular technologies
used to develop feeds.
This book not only highlights
the new features of RSS 2.0 - the
most recent RSS specification - but also offers
coverage of its close second in the XML-feed
arena, Atom.
The book has been exhaustively revised to
explain:
- metadata interpretation;
- the different forms of content
syndication;
- the increasing use of web services;
- how
to use popular RSS news aggregators on the
market.
