Chapter 11. Developing New Modules

Inventions reached their limit long ago, and I see no hope for further development.

?Sextus Julius Frontinus

In this chapter, we will create a new module and extend a desktop reader (AmphetaDesk) to understand it. We will also discuss the differences between the RSS 1.0 and RSS 2.0 data models and the effect of these differences on module design.

We have already dealt with the RDF data model in detail in Chapter 5, so we must now look at RSS 2.0.
