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 days of stitching together half-baked technologies (though, they did scale and Bryn and I deserve some credit for that! ).

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 one of the great conversation with the folks who build and innovate Channel 9. Tune in.

Enjoy.

If Blackberrys are addictive cellphones, Channel9 is the ultimate addictive website.

The behavior you guys were talking about where redundant requests to fill or refill a cache entry can cause severe performance degradation is called "dogpiling." Glad to hear that anti-dogpiling is in effect on 9!

Great video... And great timing; I hadn't heard of URL routing being built into the Framework, and was thinking of something like it for a project I'm working on. Now I can just go look it up. Thanks for a great video.
