I have been wanting to make a RSS reader for a while now (just for fun), but I don't have the slightest idea of where to start. I don't understand anything about RSS. Are there any good tutorials on RSS and how to implement it in an application (not a tutorial on how to make a RSS reader, that would be too easy).
Get Started With C To start using C, you need two things: A text editor, like Notepad, to write C code. A compiler, like GCC, to translate the C code into a language that the computer will understand.
For most central air systems, the process is simple. Simply move the switch on your thermostat from “Heat” to “Cool”. If your system was off entirely, you may need to move the switch from “Off” to “Cool” instead. Once you turn your system on, be sure to close any open windows to conserve energy.
C is a powerful general-purpose programming language. It can be used to develop software like operating systems, databases, compilers, and so on. C programming is an excellent language to learn to program for beginners.
You just need a fan and two plastic soda bottles to make this air conditioner. Modify the bottles by cutting off the end and punching holes in the sides. Then strap them to the back of the fan and fill the bottles with ice. Voila!

Basically there is a lot of stuff in the .Net 3.5 framework that does the grunt-work of parsing and representing feeds; it's not hard to write a 30-line app that takes in a feed URL and downloads the feed and prints the title and author of all the items, for example. (Works for RSS 2.0 (not others!) or Atom.)
If you are focusing on creating an RSS Reader and not on RSS parsing logic, you might want to delegate creation/reading RSS feeds using this free RSS Library called Argotic on CodePlex.com
