Of course, we need to reinvent the wheel every time.

Another article from IBM that seems to use AJAX just for sake of using it and riding "2.0" hype...* There's plenty of good RSS readers, web-based or not.* It's possible to implement nice RSS reader in AJAX without PHP+MySQL backend.* PHP+MySQL implementation doesn't really need AJAX. For developers server-side-only RSS is often more important.

This is a well documented tutorial.Re-inventing the wheel or not, a good tutorial can lead a developer to build on it, change it, or incorporate ideas into other projects.With CakePHP newbies they mostly start with the Blog tutorial in the manual. Why write another blog software when there are so many out there?It is a tool for learning and present ideas in a manner that someone can easily understand it.

I don't think that this is particularly user friendly.Those who don't understand programming will likely s**t themselves. You know they'll just whack it on their server, load up a blank screen and ask 'what next?'.

I agree, to many people miss the point of a tutorial, it's "usually" not meant to be a completed project but rather a way to learn how to do something, then build off of it.

Was anyone ever able to download the sample code? Seems the site is just giving a down for maintenance message when you try to download.

Thanks... Gregarius was just what i was looking for. Lately google reader (my previous feed reader) has been not getting any feeds. I now run Gregarius from my own site... at least it will be more reliable

Personally I prefer to use RSS aggregators already out there. Can't be asked to write my own._______________________________<a class="user" href="http://www.businessinformed.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.businessinformed.net/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.healthbrief.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.healthbrief.net/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.sportsinformed.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.sportsinformed.net/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.comintbrief.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.comintbrief.net/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.moneybrief.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.moneybrief.net/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.entertainmentbrief.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.entertainmentbrief.net/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.homeandfamilybrief.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.homeandfamilybrief.net/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.societybrief.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.societybrief.net/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.travelinformed.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.travelinformed.net/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.petbrief.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.petbrief.net/</a>
