Resources for “Syndication with RSS”
October 1st, 2004 by Reuven M. Lerner in
The specifications for RSS 0.91, 1.0 and 2.0 are easy to read and understand, especially if you are not responsible for implementing the small details. Indeed, Dave Winer's specifications (RSS 0.9x and 2.0) are designed to be as easy to read and implement as possible, at the risk of being looser and less specific.
RSS 0.91: backend.userland.com/rss091
RSS 1.0: web.resource.org/rss/1.0/spec
RSS 2.0: blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss
For some added perspective on RSS, you should look at Dan Bricklin's “about RSS” (and related files) at rss.softwaregarden.com/aboutrss.html and Tim Bray's introduction to RDF at www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/01/24/rdf.html.
The W3C's introduction to RDF is at www.w3.org/RDF.
Finally, you can download XML::RSS from CPAN, the Perl archive network, at www.cpan.org.

If last month's Infrastrucuture issue was too "big" for you then try on this month's Embedded issue. Find out how to use Player for programming mobile robots, build a humidity controller for your root cellar, find out how to reduce the boot time of your embedded system, and if you're new to embedded systems find out the basics that go into one. You can also read about the Beagle Board, the Mesh Potato and a spate of other interestingly named items. And along with our regular columns don't miss our new monthly column: Economy Size Geek.

I have been having a hard time getting my arms around the whole syndication feed issues until I read your article. It had the right amount of detail for me. I'm looking forward to reading your article on ATOM too. ATOM is what blogger uses. You inspired one of my blog posts and so I thought I would let you know.
