This new book helps readers learn how to apply today's hot web syndication technologies in a variety of different environments and scenarios. "RSS and Atom Hacks" begins with a clear roadmap of RSS and Atom technologies and how they work for specific tasks, but then expands the scope to demonstrate how syndication technology can be used in more innovative and sometimes off-the-wall ways as a solution to a wide variety of web programming and content management problems. Web developers and experienced bloggers will find hacks for people who use only newsreaders, and hacks for more advanced uses such as running syndication programs and developing sites with multiple feeds. Includes coverage of new features of rival products RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, and Atom.
