Hacking RSS and AtomExtremeTech

or RSS feeds. In fact, this is mainly a book about lots of other things, between which

syndication feeds form the glue or enabling catalyst.

Sure, you’ll find some quick forays into specifics of consuming and producing syndication feeds,

with a few brief digressions on feed formats and specifications. However, there are better and

more detailed works out there focused on the myriad subtleties involved in working with RSS

and Atom feeds. Instead, what you’ll find here is that syndication feeds are the host of the

party, but you’ll be spending most of your time with the guests.

And, because this is a book about hacking feeds, you’ll get the chance to experiment with combinations of technology and tools, leaving plenty of room for further tinkering. The code in this

book won’t be the prettiest or most complete, but it should provide you with lots of practical

tools and food for thought.
