Plat_Forms 2011 web development contest

Plat_Forms is a professionell competition in which top-class teams of three programmers compete to implement the same requirements for a web-based system within two days, using different technology platforms (e.g. Java, .NET, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Scala, Smalltalk, JavaScript or what-have-you).

 

Its purpose is not to determine "the" best web development platform, but rather to provide new insights into the real (rather than purported) pros, cons, and emergent properties of each platform. The evaluation will analyze many aspects of each solution, both external (usability, functionality, reliability, security, performance, etc.) and internal (structure, modularity, understandability, flexibility, etc.).

 

In 2011 fifteen teams will start into the challenge with three programmers each. The 30 hour development marathon takes place at the Congress Center Nuremberg (CCN). For additional information visit our project_page or plat-forms.org, if you like to join as a visitor then register.
