CET 4583 - Assignment 10B

For this final assignment you are going to make some modification to your personal class page. You will be adding sections to your web page to 

1. Consume a web service that displays the current weather and display this on your page.

2.  Pick any RSS feed (from a news service, blog, or any other source) and put that feed on your site.

This may necessitate some redeisgn in your page for visual appeal.

I will be looking for a good design, a nice aesthetic, and solid layout with all the elements that are on your page. You should avoid having you page look crowded - this is a chance to show off all your design ability.

Resources

The weather web service is trivial and I expect everyone to be able to find the web service and resources necessary to do this. 

There are a lot of way to handle consuming the RSS feed. Some of these are server side scripting based and some can work client only utilizing Javascript.  Here are some links that will help you

http://www.howtodothings.com/computers/a853-consuming-rss-feeds-via-javascript.html - This is an example of a Javascript to demonstrate consuming a feed. A few easy changes and you will have a nice RSS feed consumer.

http://feed.mikle.com/en/?gclid=CLfi-NStr5UCFQYdswodDmRrkA - This is an embedded widget that allows the consumption of an RSS feed.

http://www.webreference.com/authoring/languages/xml/rss/custom_feeds/ - Here is information on how to do it using php and MySQL. Pretty straightforward (but also server side)

http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/102903-1.aspx - And of course a way to do this in ASP.NET. Also this is done server side and requires ASP.NET.
