Plat_Forms - The web development platform comparison

Plat_Forms

Welcome to the official website of Plat_Forms - The web development platform comparison

"Plat_Forms" is a contest and 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 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 (scalability, functionality, reliability, security, performance, etc.) and internal (structure, modularity, understandability, flexibility, etc.).

Plat_Forms 2012 in April canceled

We are very sorry to inform you that we had to cancel Plat_Forms 2012 on April 3rd and 4th 2012.

We were unable to attract a sufficient number of teams to make the contest feasible. We will now analyze the reasons for our failure and try to learn from then. With a bit of luck there will be another instance of Plat_Forms later this year.

Please bear with us. If you want to be kept up to date with news about Plat_Forms you can subscribe to our announcement mailing list.
