The $40 software makes it possible for individuals to exploit the content-management and information-gathering capabilities that previously were available only to corporations and other large enterprises.

The book includes a primer on the UserTalk programming language and the software's object database. Emphasis is placed on Radio's XML-RPC, RSS, and XML functionality, which make it easy to create your own Web services and use the services of others.

Master the features of Radio on Windows or Mac OS X and Mac Classic, review numerous code examples, and explore the inner workings of this revolutionary software.

I'm using Radio to publish this site and my weblog, which includes a Radio UserLand category.
