We'll be showing some of this on inside guardian over the coming weeks.</p> <p>Many presentations are focusing on how content and services for what we might refer to as a single "website" are increasingly distributed across the web. Technologies such as OAuth, OpenID and open APIs are accelerating this change. This creates great opportunities for new types of web application, using mapping, location based and social networking services.</p> <p>A practical talk by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840/http://2008.xtech.org/public/schedule/detail/549">Gareth Rushgrove</a> discussed the challenges developers are facing in this new world. How to integrate these services where you don't have a formal relationship with API providers. What happens if the provider disappears, changes their service, or is slow, or just not available? </p> <p>Many of these issues, some of which are currently challenging our team can be dealt with good supplier relationships, proxies, caching, and defensive development techniques. </p> <p>An example of how people might be able deal with at least one of these issues at the browser level - reliance on a single provider with whom you have no relationship: the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840/http://www.mapstraction.com/">mapstraction</a> javascript library allows developers to use the great mapping tools out there such as Google Maps, Yahoo, or open mapping provider OpenStreetmap. </p> <p>A great presentation by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840/http://2008.xtech.org/public/schedule/detail/536">Brendan Quinn and Ben Smith</a> from the BBC showed how they are dealing with some of these issues. I think the most important thing we have learned here is how much we have in common with other online information providers, and that we often have similar strategies for solving these problems.</p> <p></p> <p><br/> </p> </div> <div class="blogs-index-article-comments"> · <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840/http://technorati.com/search/http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/inside/2008/05/the_web_on_the_move_xtech_2008.html"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840im_/http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/site_imagery/technorati15x11.gif" width="15" height="11" alt="Technorati logo" class="technorati"/></a> </div> </div> <h2>Wednesday 07.05.08</h2> <div class="blogs-index-article"> <h3><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840/http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/inside/2008/05/its_not_all_hamsters_and_wheel.html" title="It's not all hamsters and wheels: An interview with software engineering radio">It's not all hamsters and wheels: An interview with software engineering radio</a></h3> <div class="blogs-index-article-metaData"> <strong>Matthew Wall / Technology</strong> 06:39pm </div> <div class="blogs-index-article-body"> <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm Mat Wall, Technical Architect for guardian.co.uk.

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. </p> <p>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.</p> <p>While in Munich we were interviewed by Markus Voelter of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840/http://www.se-radio.net/">Software Engineering Radio</a>, an online radio service providing podcasts for techies working in the software industry. </p> <p>In the podcast we describe some of the methods and technology that we use to build guardian.co.uk.

Among the features of our new look is the ability to make up a url combing two "tags" to see if we have any articles or videos matching the combination. For instance, you could see how much crossover there is between our coverage of the Labour party and climate change by checking at this url:</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840/http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/labour+environment/climatechange">http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/labour+environment/climatechange</a></p> <p>Or, and this is one we use a lot ourselves, find the latest comment pieces we have about Google, say:</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840/http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/google+tone/comment">http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/google+tone/comment</a></p> <p>It also works for individual contributors; just now I checked what our sports writer Richard Williams had offered us recently about cinema, and found, to my delight, a piece about the Argentinian musician Astor Piazzola:</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840/http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/richardwilliams+film/film">http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/richardwilliams+film/film</a></p> <p>If that's a bit specialised, here are some (hopefully self-explanatory) crowd-pleasers:</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840/http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/charliebrooker+media/media">http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/charliebrooker+media/media</a></p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840/http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/wildlife+content/gallery">http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/wildlife+content/gallery</a></p> <p>You can mix and match these and other combinations to your heart's content if you can see the pattern. Don't worry if you can't; we don't expect people to understand how to make the combinations, but on the other hand we're happy if you can figure it out. If there's interest, I'll write again explaining the rules. </p> <p>Best of all, each combination has an rss feed, so if you want to keep up with Marina Hyde's political coverage, but don't want to read her celebrity or sport articles, you can put this in your rss reader:</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840/http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/marinahyde+politics/politics/rss">http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/marinahyde+politics/politics/rss</a></p> <p>and let the latest pieces come to you.</p> <p>Enjoy.</p> </div> <div class="blogs-index-article-comments"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840/http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/inside/2008/04/late_easter_eggs.html#comments">Comments (2)</a> · <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840/http://technorati.com/search/http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/inside/2008/04/late_easter_eggs.html"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840im_/http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/site_imagery/technorati15x11.gif" width="15" height="11" alt="Technorati logo" class="technorati"/></a> </div> </div> <h2>Thursday 10.04.08</h2> <div class="blogs-index-article"> <h3><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840/http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/inside/2008/04/radio_guardian_our_sony_award.html" title="Radio Guardian: our Sony award nominations">Radio Guardian: our Sony award nominations</a></h3> <div class="blogs-index-article-metaData"> <strong>Matt Wells / Awards / Editors' blog</strong> 12:21pm </div> <div class="blogs-index-article-body"> <p>The Guardian has been nominated in two categories at the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840/http://www.radioawards.org/news/?9">Sony radio awards</a> - the UK's main national radio gongs. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080519062840/http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/series/footballweekly">Football Weekly</a>, our (confusingly) twice weekly football podcast, presented by James Richardson, is up for sports programme of the year, alongside such greats as Fighting Talk and Five Live Sport.
