So many things are happening in Bulgaria and in Microsoft technologies in general that I can hardly manage to write a line about everything, but I will try to do this in series of posts.
The second match of IT Boxing has just finished. This time the fight was about “ASP.NET vs. Java & JSF vs. PHP vs. Ruby’. Alex Thissen did a great job showing new things in web development with .NET 3.5 and VS2008 and also the fresh Preview 2 of the ASP.NET MVC pattern. I was disappointed to find out that Java team won, after all they showed to the public was a recorded usage of a simple CMS system and general description of how enterprise is J2EE, although we did not see almost no demos from them. I guess that the Java fens just were outnumbering the .NET fens. Poor Java guys – after all they saw from Alex, Stefan and Emil and they are still voting for Java – same as Bulgarian politicians – they never know what they are voting for.
