all. Anyone have any readings, guides, tutorials, or resources that they particularly recommend for RSS -- especially for going about the task of building an RSS reader?
Seeing as my question landed with a thud, I thought I'd share what I found myself from a little digging, for whoever comes along next.
First off, there are the tutorials offered at http://www.w3schools.com/rss/. The stuff from W3C is always useful, in my experience.
I also offer up this list of books and guides that are either about RSS directly or discuss it at some length:
RSS and Atom in Action: Web 2.0 Building Blocks (Manning)
Java and XML (O'Reilly)
Beginning Java Server Pages (Wrox -- includes a discussion of Java's ROME framework)
Developing Feeds with RSS and Atom (O'Reilly)
You can tell from the above that I was searching specifically for RSS as it relates to Java. But I also found resources about building RSS readers with Python and PHP. Of course there is lots more out there relating to Android, iOS and the like.
I hope the above will be helpful, but if anyone has any further and better resources, how-tos, and guides they recommend, please add them. Thanks!
According to what i have gathered so far,there aren't many resources on rss readers.Apparently readers use polling to track updates.issues of etiquette have emerged in all articles i have come across but none of all articles explains it like this post:
policy for polling rss

I want a simple html and javascript based web page for editing a single document for documentation of an app that I am making. it should be editable by multiple people if possible asking for a password before it registers. I have ftp access to a web site but that is it. no database. I did not find anything that will point to a single file and just simply edit it without any software requirements. it would be nice if it were mobile friendly too.
I work for a hosting provider so that is a good question imo. What you are looking for is a flat file storage CMS to avoid a database. Requiring user management and simplicity you will not want to code this from scratch. We deal with alot of CMS (Content Management Systems) and most are bloated and require MySQL.

I fired an installation up and it is very easy to install, has alot of features, and is very WordPress like which means it looks good out of the box and is very easy to use.
I hope this helps you out and if you do use it let me know your thoughts.

I would like to integrate a "virtual blackboard" functionality with my e-learning website. I would like users to be able to participate in "meetings", with the following functionality:
chat (optionaly voice chat/videochat)
virtual blackboard (collaborative drawing)
screensharing (so one of the users can present material like pictures to other users)
ideally Flash or Java applet based (so users wouldn't have to install any additional software - but this is not a requirement, as long as setup wouldn't be too cumbersome)
I guess there are no free solutions, so I'm looking for a paid one. It would be best if users didn't have to set up separate accounts to participate in meetings. Perhaps they could just click on a link with the meeting id.
I googled a little and looked at Adobe Connect Pro. Are there any alternatives that you can recommend?
Checkout BigBlueButton http://www.bigbluebutton.org/
BigBlueButton is an active open source
project that focuses on usability,
modularity, and clean design -- both
for the user and the developer. The
project is hosted at Google Code
http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/
It's not hard to create one with only JavaScript. Then the user really doesn't have to install anything, unlike with Flash or Java.
A pretty good tutorial is here, and additionally Ajax: The Definitive Guide has a good tutorial around Ch. 20 ish.
Influxis also has some Flash based meeting software apps and gives you the source code, so that you may extend them, if you are interested in that.

I have learnt most of the main skill points in ASP.NET model, eg how to use a GridView. I would like to find some complete website with source code to analyse/observe, but so far it seems on the internet most learning resources are dealing with a specific topic. Is it possible to find some?
There are lots of open source asp.net websites out there.
See this list from the Microsoft asp.net site, in particular the starter kits and samples section.
I suggest you download and install the free Web Platform Installer from Microsoft. In the tab Web Applications you can find a lot of ready made applications to learn from.
Check out this video: http://www.asp.net/general/videos/build-your-first-asp-net-application-with-asp-net-web-forms
It explains well where to start and how to create "Hello World" type of application.
Don't bother with Web Platform Installer/other advanced starting kits because they are too complex for someone new with the platform.
There seems to be a lack of sample asp.net websites with available source code. Note an open-source website does not mean you can obtain the website. You may have to buy the website to view the open source. However I did find a large number of real-world websites with available source code in Chinese.

My client has a busy traffic site with a big amount of pages, ASP.NET's built-in cache solutions is good, but it only stores content into the memory. Since the site has a big amount of pages, so I think disk caching would be a better idea. But after searching I didn't find a solution, any suggestions?
There is the ConcurrentCache project on codeplex which has support for 4 caching modes:
Memory
Files
Compressed
Auto
I can't say much about the project as I only just found it myself but I'm giving it a go right now.
ASP.NET 4.0 allows you to write your own cache provider. Scott Gu's blog discusses the details.
.Net 4 lets you write your own using OutputCacheProvider and there may be some examples out there. No doubt someone will roll out an open source project around this when .Net 4 gets more traction.
There was one in ASP.Net 2.0 Betas apparently, but it got removed in the RTM. You can still find references to the web.config DiskCache parameter.
This gist is based on Scott Mitchell's article.
DiskCache.NET is a library that lets you cache data in a file.

Please suggest me some better ecommerce plugins for WordPress sites?
Thanks
Take a look at WP-ecommerce if you're looking for a shopping cart. And Your Member ( www.newmedias.co.uk/wordpress-membership) is ok if you're trying to do content subscription (ie pay x for access to content in the blog)
I can heartily recommend Shopp from Ingenesis Limited if you want a customisable solution. I have used it for 6 sites now, some very customised, and - although I've hit problems as you would with any development work - nothing has been insurmountable. This is mainly because the Shopp page template and Plugin API are so versatile. Support is good, although you have to get your hands dirty and try and work along with the developers to get things working i.e. they usually won't just write a custom Payment gateway or shipping plugin for you!
One drawback is that I can't link you to any of the API docs because they operate a 'buy, try, no quibble money back thing instead' of a trial, and only allow registered users to see all the docs. There is a Feature List here though.
wp e-commerce - free version available, has addons and themes
shopp - paid
