The June 2006 ACGNJ Java Users Group meeting is scheduled to be held on
Tuesday, June 13, 2006.  The user group web site can be found at

This month we welcome Elliotte Rusty Harold who will be making a
presentation entitled, RSS, Atom, APP, and All That: a Course for
Developers. XML based syndication is moving from its foundations in
weblogs to unexpected arenas: source code control systems, audio
narrowcasts, e-mail, bug tracking, stock tickers, and more. News
readers like Vienna, NetNewsWire, RSSOwl, and Newsgator are replacing
classic web browsers for many uses. This session explores the
fundamental technologies underlying this explosion of content: the
various versions of RSS, Atom, and the Atom Publishing Protocol. Learn
the tricks and techniques for integrating these XML applications into
your products as both clients and servers.

Elliotte is originally from New Orleans to which he returns
periodically in search of a decent bowl of gumbo. However, he currently
resides in the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn with his wife,
Beth, and cats, Charm (named after the quark) and Marjorie (named after
his mother-in-law). He's an adjunct professor of computer science at
Polytechnic University where he teaches Java, XML, and object oriented
programming. His Cafe au Lait web site has become one of the most
popular independent Java sites on the Internet, and his spin-off site,
Cafe con Leche, has become one of the most popular XML sites. His books
include Java I/O, Java Network Programming, the XML Bible, and XML in a
Nutshell. He's currently working on the XOM Library for processing XML
with Java, the jaxen XPath engine, and the Amateur media player.
