O'Reilly Released Developing Feeds with RSS and Atom

A content syndication feed is an XML-based file that allows a web site to share its latest content with other applications. The feeds can be anything from headlines and links to stories to quick summaries or the entire content of a site stripped of its layout. Many sites include a white-on-orange "RSS" or "XML" button, which indicates that it offers a content feed. "Content-syndication technologies are among the Internet's fastest growing," acknowledges Ben Hammersley, author of Developing Feeds with RSS and Atom (O'Reilly US $39.95). [Bill Fox]
