NETTUTS: Extending SimplePie to Parse Unique RSS Feeds

A few days ago, as I prepared our Create a Slick Flickr Gallery with SimplePie tutorial, it occurred to me that we haven't posted many articles that covered SimplePie. Considering how fantastic a library it is, I think it's time to take a closer look.

MIX06: From HTML to Services: Building a Site for REST, POX, AJAX, RSS, SOAP, and WS-*

Your site is more than a collection of pages; it's a programmable platform that your users are leveraging in innovative new ways. Scraping, mashups, and RSS mean that your site is already a service, and the fastest, most flexible way to build that service is with Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). With WCF you can expose your site over a whole host of different transports and formats, ensuring that clients of all kinds can access your content. Use WCF to take your site to the next level and provide an optimized experience for all of your users.

MIX06: Wiring the Web

A few weeks ago Microsoft Chief Technical Officer Ray Ozzie unveiled a concept called Live Clipboard, at the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference. The main idea behind the concept is to provide for the web what the clipboard does today for desktop applications. In this session, Matt Augustine and Paresh Suthar, two members of Ray Ozzie's concept development team, will outline the what, how and why of Live Clipboard. They will show working demonstrations of the Live Clipboard concept, showing how this simple technique can help create connections between websites as well as between websites and desktop applications. Additionally, Matt and Paresh will describe how Simple Sharing Extensions (SSE), a proposed extension to the RSS 2.0 spec, can be used as part of the Live Clipboard concept to provide bidirectional synchronization of data.

CSS-Tricks #55: Adding RSS Content with SimplePie

The “Really Simple” part of RSS is sometimes misleading. What if you want to pull in content from an RSS feed and display it on your site? Doing that from scratch would be no-so-easy, but thankfully we have wonderful SimplePie to do the heavy lifting for us. In this screencast we build a really simple site that grabs content from multiple RSS feeds, smushes them together, and displays them using our own custom markup.

CSS-Tricks #50: Building a Customized and Dynamic Ordering Form

Real-life clients have real-life needs for their websites. They don’t care about your fancy RSS feeds and AJAX, they just want their website to do what they tell you they want it to do. In this screencast I walk through an example feature I am building for a real-life client who needed some very specific functionality built into a page. It is an ordering process that needs to check for a valid zip code, and then do a bunch of custom calculations based on quantities, shipping costs, etc. Both jQuery and PHP are used to do the heavy lifting.

RubyConf 2008: Ruby Heavy-Lifting

Ruby is great for scripting, what about the heavy-lifting? In this talk we’ll disassemble the lessons learned at AideRSS, and how we’ve optimized our Ruby infrastructure to handle millions of RSS feeds on a daily basis – building a spider, processing content, and optimizing process coordination and communication.

“Green Threads” and global interpreter lock (GIL) impose a lot of performance constraints on every developer using Ruby 1.8. We’ll explore the limitations of the MRI, the dreaded global interpreter lock (GIL), and look at the existing and upcoming alternatives – Ruby 1.9 concurrency model (Fibers and Actors) & JRuby threading. In similar fashion, we’ll walk through architectural patterns which can help us alleviate these problems: asynchronous and event driven processing, lazy data loading and processing, and common optimization paths for improving performance (ranging from syntactic optimizations, to writing custom C extensions).

You don’t have to leave the comfort of your Ruby shell to build a high performance system!

About Ilya Grigorik
Ilya Grigorik is the founder and CTO of AideRSS, Inc. After narrowly escaping certain death beneath an avalanche of unread RSS feeds, he knew that something must be done to protect future generations from the menace of information overload, and voila – AideRSS was born. An avid Ruby and RoR blogger (for which he received the ‘Ruby Hero’ award at RailsConf ’08), and a tinkerer at heart, Ilya is often found researching or evangelizing the latest web-development practices, software architectures, and web standards in general.

Tekzilla #46: Run a PC Remotely, N95 or iPhone 3G, RSS Feeds on your Cellphone, Bad Ass Games for the Gaming PC

Provide tech support for friends and family from miles away! Which is the better smart phone: the iPhone 3G or Nokia's N95? How to catch up with all your RSS feeds on your mobile phone! What the heck is causing your machine to run at 100% all the time? And how does the Bad Ass Gaming PC handle games like BioShock and Crysis?

Many of you have written in about the inability for non-US residents to win the Bad Ass Gaming PC Giveaway. Unfortunately, different countries have different rules about giveaways and related contests. Now this isn't an issue on relatively inexpensive items like t-shirts, CDs, or posters. PCs are pricey items, however, and as you know, when $$$ is involved, things get complicated with the lawyers and bureaucrats. So until we have the money and resources to do a different contest for each and every country... which we don't... it's open to the US only.

We got several replies about a question we had in Episode 45 about getting replacement OS install discs for Dell machines stating that Dell does indeed give users replacement discs for their machines. All they need to do is call customer service or submit a support request through the website.

Our freebie download this week is SiSoft Sandra Lite. A great benchmark and diagnostic tool for you Windows XP/Vista machine.

Veronica and Pat share their opinions between the Nokia N95 and Apple's iPhone 3G. It's a battle between 5MP camera phone goodness and a slick touch screen interface.

Want to provide tech support for friends and family without driving out to their house? Then you need remote admin tools. While Windows XP and Vista have these already installed and free to use, Microsoft's particular implementation can be a bit confusing. If you want open-source options check out VNC. Although solutions like RealVNC cost money others like TightVNC are free. If you just want something that even a computer neophyte can use check out GoToMyPC. The downside is that you'll need to fork over $20 a month for a subscription.

Need a way to check out how your website looks in different browsers? Then surf on over to this week's website pick: Browsershots.

Just got that sinking feeling when all your honeymoon pics on your media card bring up an error message on your PC? Well Veronica and Pat cover a couple of options for recovering that info without relying on the supernatural, including VirtualLab Data Recovery.

And if your CPU continually runs at 100% in Windows, the problem may lie with a bug in Windows – surprise, surprise – and the answer may lie in this Microsoft support page.

Tekzilla #40: Free Anti-Virus. Moving files to a new PC. Blu-ray Burners.

Veronica's DIY Audio Studio. Skitch. Get the best price when you buy tech toys and tools. Skinning your laptop, cell phone, Wii, PS3, Xbox or PC! Buying a used PC. Regular phone vs. VoIP vs. Digital Phone

Heads up: Starting Saturday, July 19th new episodes of Tekzilla will release on Saturday instead of Friday!

Steve's miffed: he wants us to point out when local shops probably won't have a product we review... and we've got some buying advice for the next time he heads for Frys, Best Buy, or RadioShack!

This week's Freebie Download Pick: AVG Anti-Virus Free 8.0, free anti-virus tool that works great.

Alan sent in a video question, he's in search of something a little easier than using Print Screen or CMD-Shift-3 to take a screen shot... Veronica's all about Skitch, "one of my favorite new apps out there, and it makes editing and sharing screen grabs a total snap. Get it? Snap???"

Brian wants to build an audio studio for his dorm room. For under $1100. No problem: Veronica's got a list of gear that can get you some great audio for a lot less than that, starting with a good solid microphone, the beloved Shure SM58 and our favorite free audio editing and recording software, Audacity.

Bill's thinking about buying a used PC on craigslist.org, but doesn't want to get ripped off. We've got a list of things to keep an eye out for. (One thing we didn't mention: getting a bill of sale from the person you're buying from in case the machine is stolen!)

AT&T has (officially) announced pricing for iPhone 3G sevice... four plans, starting at $69.99 a month, says PCMag.com... is Veronica going to camp out for an iPhone 3G?

This week's Website We Just Can't Get Enough Of: freshAIRapps.com, a glorious repository of applications that run on Adobe Air. (That's the cross-platform runtime environment that enables programmers to make, for example, desktop applications like Twhirl, Patrick's fave Twitter client, and Snackr, a slick RSS reader. (It's also a wonderful resource for Adobe Air developers -- it has a tutorial section that covers all the basics for fledgling devs, as well as links to the tools you'll need to build the apps.)

What is the difference between regular phone, digital phone and VoIP? Anthony, we're glad you asked! POTS, VoIP, and Digital Telephony have more in common than you might think. Just don't ask us to explain how cell service works...

Fifty Free Songs? Sign up for a free trial at emusic.com/tekzilla! (And check out some of Veronica and Patrick's fave tunes!)

Patrick's friend is getting a new desktop for college and he wants to know "the best way to transfer his massive music collection from his XP computer to his new Vista rig." We've got some help for ya, including the scoop on copying files from his old hard drive that still has Windows on it.

Blu-ray on the Mac? Marshall is looking for something a tad less expensive than the $699 kit from MCE Tech. Fortunately, Roxio's Toast can burn Blu-ray disks... and the price of Blu-ray burners is down around $350. Now if 25GB BD-R disks would just drop in price!

Chris V. wants to personalize his notebook... it's too generic for his tastes. NO problem! There are skins from GelaSkins and skinit (skinit can decorate your PS3, Wii, guitar hero guitars, a laundry list of cell phones and MP3 players...).

Veronica had her Macbook Pro laser etched with a design she loves... you can learn how to etch just about anything with a VersaLaser in this episode of Systm.

ColorWare sprays solid colors consoles, mp3 players, HDTVs... while Smooth Creations offers up sick airbrush designs.

And if you want help painting your notebook yourself, or, uh, covering it with fur, check out Systm Episode 43!

CSS-Tricks #27: Designing for Wordpress: Part Three

In part three of this series, we finish up the structure of the site and start diving into the details. The typography is set up, the right sidebar is set up, and the footer if flushed out.

Then we look at styling up the rest of the WordPress layout types like Single pages (with comment styling) and Pages. At the end we pop open the design in a bunch of different browsers to see how it holds up.

dnrTV Show #70: Brian Kuhn on The Argotic Syndication Framework

Summary
Our guest this week is .NET developer Brian Kuhn. Brian was inspired by Carl's pwopcatcher project to develop this .NET framework for syndication.
