This article introduces the architecture, which sets forth a set of design principles for creating information-typed modules at a topic level, and for using that content in delivery modes such as online help and product support portals on the Web. This article serves as a roadmap to DITA: what it is and how it applies to technical documentation. The article also links to representative source code.

An introduction to the trend sweeping the web, RSS Feeds, or Really Simple Syndication (or Rich Site Summary).

RSS is XML-based technology, which simply means that the language used to code news feeds is an XML markup language. There are a variety of different ways that you can use RSS. You can display RSS feeds from other web sites on your web site, you can build your own library of RSS feeds and view them regularly using special software called a news aggregator, or you can syndicate your own site using RSS so that other people can view your feeds. This tutorial touches on all of these uses of RSS.
In this hour, you'll learn

- How to use a news aggregator to syndicate RSS news feeds
- How to create and validate your own RSS documents
- How to transform and display RSS news feeds using XSLT
