Good RSS news feed for JavaFx news and resources - javafx

...Yes I've seen:
Best Resources for Learning JavaFX?
but it doesn't really answer the question. Maybe there just aren't any good resources at the moment?
UPDATE:
http://developers.sun.com/rss/javafx.xml is OK

If you have Google Reader you could use their Discover tool to find feeds, e.g. JavaFX feeds.
Technorati has a large selection
Google Blog Search also has some results.
Note that I don't even know what JavaFX is - your best bet, as with any topic, is to use the social search tools out there to find authors who write about your particular topic, and then subscribe to them if you like what you read.
Something I've taken to recently is using Google Alerts and Google Reader (any RSS reader will do) to get reports as they come in of searches for a particular topic. You get access to what people are searching for within a topic and what they eventually decide on. I've discovered a few interesting pages on PHP since I started this, it's a useful tool.

How can I pull User IDs from Adobe Analytics for users who match a segment?

I'm trying to lift all the User IDs that match a segment in Adobe Analytics and store them somewhere (anywhere really), so I can then feed them into an action system for targeting.
Documentation seems hard to find - anyone have ideas on how I could achieve this?
Not sure if there's APIs or SDKs that let me pull this data, or pre-built connectors into something like Google Sheets, but again documentation seems light at best.
The simplest tool to use would likely be the Report Builder. It's an Excel extension by Adobe to export the data. It's pretty powerful. Can do pretty much everything AA can.
You could also generate data feeds and ETL the data from there to wherever you need it. It's a bit more advanced though.
Finally, you have the customer journey API, which would now be an even more advanced level of ETL.
Otherwise, yes, Adobe is notorious for how bad their documentation is and how hard it is to find it. It's almost like they don't want the good documentation to be there in order to sell more of their certification courses.
Note that sometimes when you google something and get to their forum to see the answer, Adobe will attempt to hide the answer behind the authentication wall. Just open that link in incognito and you'll be good. Adobe is pretty weird.

Suggestions for deciding on a WCMS for a hockey website?

I need to make a website for my hockey club. My main purpose for this site is allowing people to sign in and post articles and training schedules in their section. Eg Mens, Womens, Juniors and Masters. I want to have some kind of upload manager that will allow them to choose where they post the info too (eg, Mens, Masters and Homepage).
This is the main functionality I'm looking for at the moment.
The clubs previous website used Joombla which I have hated. I found it to be way to restrictive. Its on a old version of it so there are probably many improvements in the new version but from what I've read it seems like it still has a lot of restrictions in how content is managed. I am open to trying it again tho.
I've used Wordpress before and liked it but that was on a small scale projects and I'm not sure it really fits what I'll be trying to do here, since it mostly deals with blog posts and I'll need to have functionality to upload and display files.
I've had a look around at some other ones like Squarespace and Silverstripe. I'm really liking the simplicity of silverstrip(one thing I hate about Joombla is the clutter on the opening page) and am leaning towards it right now if I can find a nice way to have people post news to multiple pages at once.
If anyone has any suggestions they'd be very welcome. I know html, css, javascript and a bit of php. I'm learning Ruby atm so wouldn't be against using it so I could learn more but it might be a bit much for a sports website.
First off, its nice to see someone that likes hockey too :) You can't use Squarespace, you'll need an Apache server for what you want. You will need some way to store information, so you'll need a MySQL database, probably some advanced knowledge of PHP (I'm assuming you don't know how to connect to databases and do some other functions). Wordpress is too limited, so you can't use that. I have never used Silverstripe personally, but it seems like the best of your options here. You'll probably need some more knowledge of PHP before you attempt to make a members system.

Making a content feed

I am making a website which allows people to discuss news topics. I was looking to make like a news feed which shows the most talked about topics and topics followed by users however I am not sure how to do this? As in I can't think of a process to do this and I don't think Rss feed's are the answer, help would be appreciated.
Same here. I am developing a website too and learning how to develop an RSS engine of my own.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/help/rss/default.stm#mysite
http://www.wikihow.com/Create-an-RSS-Feed
But I need more information. What I know is- RSS feeder itself searches for latest content on the news websites or blogs (by looking at their dates perhaps) and it places the latest post on top. Now the problem is that I am not able to create that. I need to know a lot about RSS and specially XML.
But your problem is different I think. You want to show the trending post on the top. Then, I think you will need to create an algorithm to rank your pages/posts. And this algorithm should evaluate the real hotness of the content. For example a 20 days old post on your website might still be hotter than latest trending news and it might be searched in the top news.
But now the question is how would this algorithm decide whether a post hot or not? Well this can be done on the basis of likes or hearts give to it by users, comments on the page, links in the comments on the page, shares (you can track that), and external links to your post etc etc. Now it's up to you what you will prefer to make your post trending. You can give more weightage to external links or maybe comments or you could set limits to all of these which when reach gives a sign of full success of the post.
Sorry If you don't get it. I was just thinking of the solutions. I really don't know the solution to it already.

Maximum display posts on RSS?

I never needed to play a lot with RSS, but now I have a project to do, and I wonder if it is possible to pull an RSS feed of all the posts for a certain blog...
I'm not talking about creating a feed generator. I'm just curious why most of the blogspot.com etc websites have available only the last 5 or last 20 posts, but never the complete list... is it a performance/security reason? I guess it is the user's right to decide how many posts go in the feed, right?
How many entries you want to have in your RSS-Feed depends on the goals you want to achieve with the RSS-Feed. Usually you want to provide information about the current articles on your site. That's why you usually have only the most recent articles in the feed.
Performance is of course an issue. A popular RSS-Feed with many followers does not want to send a huge XML file all the time. That can be addressed with enough ressources, but as long as it does not really help your goal, why do it?
I do not see a real security issue. If someone wants to steal your content, he can simple iteratate over the articles on your website directly. RSS would make it a little easier, but if someone wants to steal the content, he will steal it anyway, with or without a full RSS feed. If you take Denial of Service into consideration - we are back at performance issues - there might be a threat to availability. But that's already quite speculative.

dashcode and external rss feeds

I was wonder if anyone can help me with this. I've been looking everywhere for this information, but I want to make a web application using dascode rss. I know that you can't link external sources. Does anyone know a way I can get around it. From what I understand a little php can get around this, but I'm unsure where to look.
OK, first thing no PHP. Dashcode is limited to HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Although having said that there are a whole range of system calls that cna be made using the functionality provided by various parts of the x-cde system.
Second yes you can link to external sources such as other web sites, api on say Twitter, google etc. RSS feeds and so on, not sure where you got the idea to the contrary.
If you want to learn how to do a Dashcode RSS then open up Dashcode, start a new project, either web based or Dsashboard based and choose the RSS project. This will give you an out of the box template to add you own information and then see how it works. Then customise it.
In the above i am assuming Snow Leopard and the latest Dashcode/X-code but it will still gove you most of what you want on earlier version.
