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?

Monitor system logs and events with feeds
Scrape feeds from old–fashioned Web sites

About the Author:

Leslie M. Orchard is a hacker, tinkerer, and creative technologist who works in the Detroit area. He lives with two spotted Ocicats, two dwarf bunnies, and a very patient and understanding girl. On rare occasions when spare time comes in copious amounts, he plays around with odd bits of code and writing, sharing them on his Web site named 0xDECAFBAD (http://www.decafbad.com).
