Developers
This book is also for developers who want to use the content that other people are syndicating . This group includes everyone from fan-site developerss wanting the latest gaming news, or intranet builders needing up-to-date financial information on the corporate Web, to developers looking to incorporate news feeds into artificially intelligent systems or build data-sharing applications across platforms.
