I had a great time presenting RSS and ATOM Syndication using WCF to the Northwest Arkansas .NET User Group on Tuesday night. I have made my presentation deck available in a PDF available for download form here.
I will be posting the source and the script to my Google code account. Check out my Presentation page for more info on how to get the code.
Exposing data via RSS and ATOM doesn’t have to be hard, using the System.ServiceModel.Web Syndication objects provided in the 3.5 version of the .NET Framework makes it easy to handle data in a format independent way and let the client then determine how they want to consume your data.
If you adding RSS and ATOM support to your application I suggest you get familiar with the System.ServiceModel.Web namespace. I will posting more on the subject in a few work in progress blog post, so stay tuned.
Thanks to everyone at the Northwest Arkansas .NET User Group for having me it was a great time as always.
This is a reminder that the Arkansas User Group Leader Call is tonight at 8:00 PM CST. Meetings going forward will be held via Live Meeting please use the following link to join http://tinyurl.com/dytjef.
All groups suffer from the fact that most of the work is done by a hand full of individuals. Tonight Zach Young will be facilitating a discussion on this very subject. We hope to find some techniques that we can employ to increase the involvement of members in the actual running of a group or event.
Meeting Information:
Topic: Get Member Involved!
Medium: Live Meeting (verify you system)

I’ll see you tonight!
I want to invite everyone to a NerdDinner at JJ’s Chill-n-Grill in Bentonville, AR after the Code Camp on April 25th. The Code Camp ends at around 6 PM and I thought it would be cool to have some socializing after a long day of sessions.
So, if you would like to join us please register on nerddinner here http://nerddinner.com/314. I need to get a good count of how many will be attending so I can reserve some tables so please register soon.
I look forward to seeing you there.
