Content Syndication with RSS Back in Knoxville this evening. Lucked out and had my order from O'Reilly at home when I got there. Three books: RSS, Essential Blogging and RDF. Spent the flights powering through Ben Hammersley's Content Syndication with RSS from O'Reilly Press. Overall, I agree with the review posted on SlashDot: great book, few weaknesses, eminently readable. Helped me understand more of the technology and more of the politcal landscape. Can't wait to develop some killer RSS stuff to show off at GLGDW. P.S. If you're interested in RSS technologies, don't miss the O'Reilly search results for RSS. Good stuff! 10:08:32 PM    comment []
