*RSS, Atom, OPML, and All That: A Course for Developers* 
<http://cafeconleche.org/slides/nyphp/syndication/>

This February, New York PHP Community explores the world of RSS and 
related technologies. As PHP developers, we're often called upon to 
generate and read dynamic feeds. Join us this month as author, professor 
and Java developer - yes, Java developer - Elliotte Harold gives us an 
indepth look at these essential technologies.

XML based syndication is moving from its foundations in weblogs to 
unexpected arenas: source code control systems, audio narrowcasts, 
e-mail, bug tracking, stock tickers, and more. News readers like Vienna, 
NetNewsWire, RSSOwl, and Newsgator are replacing classic web browsers 
for many uses. This session explores the fundamental technologies 
underlying this explosion of content: the various versions of RSS, OPML, 
Atom, and the Atom Publishing Protocol. Learn the tricks and techniques 
for integrating these XML applications into your products as both 
clients and servers.

Elliotte is originally from New Orleans to which he returns periodically 
in search of a decent bowl of gumbo. However, he currently resides in 
the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn with his wife Beth and 
cats Charm (named after the quark) and Marjorie (named after his 
mother-in-law). He's an adjunct professor of computer science at 
Polytechnic University where he teaches Java, XML, and object oriented 
programming. His Cafe au Lait web site at http://www.cafeaulait.org has 
become one of the most popular independent Java sites on the Internet, 
and his spin-off site Cafe con Leche at http://www.cafeconleche.org has 
become one of the most popular XML sites. His books include Java I/O, 
Java Network Programming, the XML Bible, and XML in a Nutshell. He's 
currently working on the XOM Library for processing XML with Java, the 
jaxen XPath engine, and the Amateur media player.
