class="url uid" href="http://www.zendcon.com/ZendCon08/public/schedule/detail/165">Distribution and Publication With Atom Web Services</a> and <a
class="url uid" href="http://www.zendcon.com/ZendCon08/public/schedule/detail/141">The Knight Rider Methodology to Software Development</a> which if you know <a
href="http://benramsey.com">Ben Ramsey</a> or <a
href="http://www.eliw.com">Eli White</a> you know why I enjoyed their talks the most.  Eli was even able to incorporate The Hoff in his presentation, which I&#8217;m sure thrilled the German attendees. I&#8217;m looking forward to using the Atom publishing and can finally see the difference between RSS 2.0 and Atom and why the developer community has been on the Atom side.</p><p>Twitter is being used by several of us heavily and you can view all messages from attendies using the following hash: <a
href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23zendcon">#zendcon</a></p><p>I have gathered lots of info and looking forward to using the information I have and will learn this week during my talk at <a
