BottomFeeder

James Robertson
Nov 3, 2004
7:00 PM
Room 5115 Herzberg Building
Carleton University

BottomFeeder is an RSS/Atom news aggregator written in VisualWorks Smalltalk. In this talk I'll explain:

• what a news aggregator is
• why you should care
• Go over some implementation details

BottomFeeder is a smart network client, dealing with XML, Http, XML-RPC, and SOAP. It's a free, open source application - many of the pieces can be easily reused in other application, including the HTTP layer (which handles authentication, mod gzip, and encoding issues), the online updating layer (which allows BottomFeeder to be updated on the fly).

Questions will be welcome.

The meeting will be held in Room 5115, Herzberg Laboratories (building 13 on the map ). Pay-parking is available in Lot 1, 2, and parking meters can be found along University Drive. Free parking is available across Bronson Avenue opposite Lot 5.
