Subject: Witango-Talk: Great Witango Component Contest -- Winners Announced

 

Great Witango Component Contest

Results and Winners

 

Ok .. we admit it.  This contest took waaaay too long to complete.  Tons of reasons and excuses, but none of them excuse our need to apologize to the Witango community for taking so long to wrap this up.

 

For some of you on the list, the fact that a contest was underway might be news.  

 

The purpose of the contest has been to encourage the Witango development community by sharing ideas, learning more about what can be done using Witango, building the collection of components and just having fun with the code.  Contestants submitted components that were judged by a panel that included Scott Cadillac, Ben Johansen and Ian and David at NCOL. 

 

New Creation Consulting and Witango Technologies are pleased to announce that all submissions have been evaluated and winners chosen.

 

Some very cool and interesting solutions were offered up.  In no particular order, they are:

 

- a collection of tools for credit card number validation, email validation, is day between dates, etc.;

- a tool to create and learn about CSS files;

- a company-wide calendar application;

- implementation of a simple neural network in Witango in a tcf to do pattern recognition, also comes with examples on how to use it in different ways including black and white image corruption filtering/recognition. Seriously!

- a Media Management System; and,

- a DMS Toolset that provides access to database and operating system features over http on Windows based Witango servers.

 

According to contest rules, all code submitted has been released into the public domain, and is freely available for anyone to use.  Examples of all code submissions are available for immediate download from:

 

 

We encourage the keepers of the component zones to add these files to their libraries, so that the value is widely and permanently available to all Witango Developers.

 

And now ... the winners:

 

 

 **  The Second Place Award      

 

A Witango v5.5 studio goes to Bill Conlon for his Media Management System. The documentation alone is worth the read.

 

 

 **  The First Place Award     

 

A Witango v5.5 Standard Server, goes to Dave Shelley for his  DMS Toolset.    With this suite of tools, administrators can remotely administer databases, files and directories, run Witango code snippets, search and view the logs and more. There is a lot here to look over and learn from.

  

 

On behalf of everyone at Witango Technologies and New Creation Consulting, we would like to take this opportunity to sincerely congratulate the contest winners.  We especially want to thank all those who took the time to document and submit their code, and to participate in this community-building exercise.

 

To all those who benefit from this experience by using one or more of the solutions made available to you, please consider how you might also be able to contribute to this "knowledge" community through making something of value available to your peers.
