Plat Forms done…
So, Marco, Tomas and me won the Plat_Forms contest in the PHP Area. Interesting is, that I expected to be the worst 
- actually what I tried to do is focus on developing in a professional way, fully documented and tested instead of going into functionality.
The results show that our performance was more or less the same ( in terms of working and testable functionality ) then the other teams - even if some luck was involved as the ZEND team was very unlucky and created nearly at the end of the contest one single bug which made the whole SOAP interface not useable.
This again prooves that using Agile methods, including unit testing etc. does NOT decrease the teams performance.
Interesting isn’t it ?
BTW I have to state here that all PHP teams were really good. The performance was more or less the same it was pure luck that we won, that’s all.
If you are interested in the full results you can find them here.
Ah - what I want to state here very clearly is - where are the teams from .NET, ruby, phython and all the other languages ? 2007 they did not participate because there where not enough qualified teams - hey come on - at least .NET there are MANY good teams around. So next time attend - and loose
