Hack quote

Walking through our tech processing office today, I noticed the book Hacking RSS and Atom (ISBN 0764597582). I put a note on it to have it routed to me after being cataloged. While perusing it, I noticed a great quote on the back:

This book is not about the minutia of RSS and Atom programming. It's about doing cool stuff with syndication feeds -- making the technology give you exactly what you want the way you want. [snip] Tantalizing loose ends beg you to create more hacks the author hasn't thought up yet. Because if you can't have fun with the technology, what's the point?


 


There's a great lesson there.
