DevShed: Creating an RSS Reader: the Reader
In a new tutorial from DevShed today, they walk you through the creation of a simple (very simple) RSS reader in PHP.

This article gives you a high-level view of the Zend Framework, explaining its general concepts and preparing you for the rest of this "Understanding the Zend Framework" series, which goes into the details by chronicling the creation of a new online RSS/Atom feed reader. We won't do much coding in this article, but for the rest of the series, you should be familiar with PHP.
