Bulgarian IT Boxing - We (.NET team and fans) lost round 2, waiting for round 3 now ...

Last night the second round of Bulgarian ITBoxing took place.

What is ITBoxing?
ITBoxing is an event where developers using different platforms gather and present the advantages of their platform. After all the technologies are presented the audience votes about their favourite technology.

Last night the following technologies were presented (votes included):

Java 73 votes.
.NET 45 votes.
Ruby on Rails 13 votes.
PHP 11 votes.

This was the second round so now Java and .NET are on the top (the first round was for .NET ;). I was disappointed to understand that my technology wasn't first this time.

Round 3 will be held in about a month or so and the topic will be Enterprise development. Hopefully there will be less Java
developers in the audience this time so we can win again ;). I think we deserve it ;).

NOTE: I wasn't in the .NET team, I was in the audience but tried to help with comments against Java ;).

No matter which technology wins I think those events are very helpful for all develeopers, as after all - our work is to complete our job on time and with less efforts. When you attend such events you can inform yourself about which type of tasks are easier to complete with Java, which with .NET, which with PHP and which with Ruby.
