EvNet

EvNet, which is the codebase that powers all of our channels, was written from the ground up. How is the codebase designed? What's the architecure? What did each developer work on? What were some of the challenges? Who are these dev geniuses, anyway? This is part two of the great…

You asked. We deliver. Meet the developers behind Channel 9 (and 8, 10, Edge and MicrosoftPDC.com). Mike Samspon, Erik Porter, Duncan Mackenzie and Nathan Heskew are the super talented devs who built C9 V4. Unlike the older versions of Channel 9, V4 is a completely new codebase. Gone are the…

Just a quick, and poorly filmed, update from the dev team on what we worked on during the last sprint and what we are building right now. Yes the filming is shoddy, and yes the screens are hard to read... we'll get better, but we didn't want to spend a lot of time redoing this one when we know…

Hey folks, it has been awhile since we first published the Channel 9 beta site and we thought you might be wondering where we are with the whole 'new Channel 9' project. Well, we have been moving forward on many different areas of the code and we even shipped a new production site…

Mike Sampson, your friendly-neighborhood media-encoding and SCRUM specialist, lives in the office right next to mine.  I managed to walk the 12 steps over there and talk to him about what he's recently been working on, mainly a Silverlight player for version 4 of Channel…

Last week we shipped out an update to 10 that not only refreshed the design but set up the EvNet platform to support Channel9. You've seen us before and you'll see us again as we move forward with the 9 update. WARNING: We were very tired and very zany. Enjoy

Channel9 started as Community Server and FlexWiki but has grown to a lot more. When we started working on10, the goal was to create a new site as well as a stable, extendable code base that we could grow all our communities on. That project is called EvNet and this is the dev team behind it. We…

Channel 9 now has a sister This weekend we launched an all new community called 10 at http://on10.net 10 was built from the ground up using ASP.NET 2.0, SQL Server 2005 with a simple, easy to use design. Our dream with 10 is to create a place for those people…

Hey folks, I thought I'd take a moment to update you on what the dev team has been working on recently, including spell checking in the editor, a slick way to insert code snippets and some already deployed features that you may or may not have noticed. We asked nicely and were given the code…

One of the things we spend time on for Channel 9 is trying to make sure we are following the right standards, adopting new ones as necessary and that we render correctly for both real people and for search engines. As part of that ongoing work, we recently adopted two new concepts.  Canonical…
