Dan Olsen’s Weblog

My insights and comments on technical issues and anything else I feel like saying.

Diving into RSS

As I have been working on projects at work I have tried to keep a close eye on Phil Windley’s weblog. Before I was hired by Dr. Windley, I occasionally checked out his weblog to see some of the interesting articles he posted to his site. Now that I work for Dr. Windley I have kept closer tabs on his weblog because he posts quite a few articles that deal with issues involved in some of the projects he has me working on.

One entry that I found to be helpful and eye-opening was his entry titled Dive Into Atom with Mark. In this entry he points to a couple of articles by Mark Pilgrim on the issue of syndication feeds. Since Dr. Windley has me working on projects involving syndication feeds it was helpful to look at these articles and gain more of an understanding of where these feeds currently stand and where they may end up. For anyone wanting to know more about syndication feeds or would just like to read some good articles about them, I highly recommend these articles:

Articles:
The Atom API
Atom Authentication via WSSE
