More RSS help

Topics:

In addition to the helpful hint Kevin suggested.  Another resource that I found helpful when learning RSS are two books from the library:

  1. “Developing feeds with RSS and Atom” by Ben Hammersley
  2. “Content syndication with RSS” by Ben Hammersley

If you were looking for the books I currently have the checked out from the Art, Architecture and Engineering library so if you are looking for them email me and I’ll get them to you.  Good luck and happy coding.

RSS Project Question, SuperMatt Goes for Bonus

Topics:

Matt references an RSS question Aga raised last week. Frankly, I confused this one with a bookmark someone had made about RSS resources they had found for the project. The bookmark sounded like people were charging ahead. Matt and Aga want some ideas for how RSS could be used for Denali. Here’s a couple of ideas:

  1. A feed of the most recent flavor requests from customers. Maybe the zip code could be a category element (i.e., a tag). You could easily aggregate requests by zip. Flavor might be another category element.
  2. You could also have a feed of salesperson updates.

Basically, the ideas is to use RSS as a notification format. Categories give you convenient ways to aggregate the information in the feed.

RSS Question still not answered

Topics:

A week ago Aga wondered:

 

We’re wondering what kind of functionality would you like us to have involving RSS? We have a couple of ideas on how we could feed, but we’re wondering what are some options or preferential ways to feed into (let’s say we have a website…what do we feed it to? is there anything else we should consider?). Though we haven’t gotten to it, we’d like to attempt this portion though we may not get it to work. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

We still haven’t resolved this issue and now I am trying to decide which data I should try to transform into valid RSS feeds.  Any ideas or thoughts are welcomed.  Thank you

Time and other periodicals

Topics:

I liked reading Dave’s most recent blog post of new technology. He discovers:

 

In the current edition (Dec. 12th) of Time Magazine, there is an extremely interesting section on tech pioneers.  It has 1-2 column articles about different companies that are coming out with cutting edge technologies, services, and products.  I highly recommend reading it.

 

ls is my favorite form of reading because they compress lots of information into a few concise paragraphs perfect for a business lifestyle and support my short attention span.   Of course the major problem for me is that I’m cheap and I don’t like to spend $5 a month.  My solution: Proquest. When you are on the main page click on the Publication tab.  Finally search for your favorite periodical. I bet they have it.Best of all it’s free. The only downside is that it may runs on a three month delay. This is also an excellant example of a database.  Maybe someday it will be on an RSS feed, so I can select my favorite magazines and then when it is updated it will come directly to me.

RSS Helper to answer Matt’s Question

Topics:

I have to admit when Bud first taught us about RSS, I was not as excited as Bud. However, for Project2 I have started to look at the capabilities and I have found a new friend. I have to admit a few days ago I really knew NOTHING about how RSS works and the real benefits. Matt was curious too when he remarked:

Does anyone have an experience with them and could reccomend a good one? I noticed that PinkFootsie blogged a bit about the Google reader. And I know that Safari has a built in RSS reader. I figured it’d be a good way for me to fully understand the RSS phenomenon. Any thoughts?

I have found the great website that does a tremendous job explaining:

  • What is RSS?
  • Who publishes RSS feeds?
  • How do I read RSS Feeds?
  • How can I publish my own RSS Feed?
  • Where is RSS headed? What’s next after text?
  • And finally, some technical backstory

Do you RSS?

Topics:

Hey, I was bookmarking online and started thinking about RSS readers. Does anyone have an experience with them and could reccomend a good one? I noticed that PinkFootsie blogged a bit about the Google reader. And I know that Safari has a built in RSS reader. I figured it’d be a good way for me to fully understand the RSS phenomenon. Any thoughts?
