Hi,
I'm Mat Wall, Technical Architect for theguardian.com. As you probably know we're a long way into the rollout of our new version of the web site.
Back in January we were at a software development conference in Munich talking about the innards of theguardian.com to a technical audience. I always enjoy talking at conferences as it is a great opportunity to share details of the technology that powers our site and to learn some new tips & tricks from other web companies.
If you're a computer geek you may well have seen me at such an event, but until we had this blog we had no means to share some of this information with our readers.
While in Munich we were interviewed by Markus Voelter of Software Engineering Radio, an online radio service providing podcasts for techies working in the software industry.
In the podcast we describe some of the methods and technology that we use to build theguardian.com. If you're interested you can download the podcast here.
The interview is aimed at a software engineering audience so contains soft rock but there is good content that should be of interest to those who really want to know what happens under the bonnet.
(Spoiler: It's not all hamsters and wheels)
If you've got any questions I'll see whether I can answer them below.
