Content Syndication with Web Slices

Abstract

Web Slices offer an easy way for developers to syndicate site content in both new and existing applications, all without requiring major changes to application and page design. I began this chapter by introducing the concept of Web Slices, the hAtom microformat structure, and the basic installation process for users. I continued by discussing styles, alternative sources, and authentication scenarios; and I ended with a quick run-through of some more advanced topics regarding installation and defaults. I hope you see the value of Web Slices as a way to drive users to your applications and integrate your application into IE itself.
