Hacking RSS and Atom Wiley | ISBN: 0764597582 | 602 pages | September 9, 2005 | PDF Now you can satisfy your appetite for information This book is not about the minutia of RSS and Atom programming. It's about doing cool stuff with syndication feeds-making the technology give you exactly what you want the way you want. It's about building a feed aggregator and routing feeds to your e-mail or iPod, producing and hosting feeds, filtering, sifting, and blending them, and much more. Tan-talizing loose ends beg you to create more hacks the author hasn't thought up yet. Because if you can't have fun with the technology, what's the point? A sampler platter of things you'll learn to do * Build a simple feed aggregator * Add feeds to your buddy list * Tune into rich media feeds with BitTorrent * Monitor system logs and events with feeds * Scrape feeds from old-fashioned Web sites * Reroute mailing lists into your aggregator * Distill popular links from blogs * Republish feed headlines on your Web site * Extend feeds using calendar events and microformats |
