Drum Roll, Please

asp.netPRO Readers? Choice Awards 2007

 

 

From American Idolto Dancing with the Stars, everyoneseems to have a ?results show? on television these days. Oh, the drama. Makingus wait a day after the performances to find out who stays and who goes home. Sitting through playbacks of the best and worst performances.Commercial breaks just when you think you?ll find out who?s in and who?s out.Snippy comments from the judges and contestants, alike. I guess it makes forgood ratings.

 

But this isn?t television. So, without the drama, andwithout having to endure any singing or dancing, this is our version of the asp.netPROReaders? Choice Awards results show. Hopefully you exercised your right tovote in our annual Readers? Choice Awards balloting. You are, after all, our distinguished panel of judges. Itwas your chance to vote for the products and services that make your ASP.NETdevelopment easier, more efficient, and more profitable ? maybe even more fun. Thereare many exceptionally talented people in this industry; this was your opportunityto show them your appreciation and recognition for a job well done.

 

There were repeat winners, new winners, and a couple ofdominant companies. And we expanded our results table by adding an ?honorablemention? column to provide more depth and insight into the spectrum of winners.

 

So, without the fanfare, without the commercial breaks,without the drama ... we present the results of the 2007 asp.netPRO Readers?Choice Awards.

Choice Awards ballotis AbleCommerce Asp.Net Shopping Cart. Runner-up honors go to DXperienceASP.NET, and DiscountASP.NET receives honorable mention.

 

Congratulations and Thanks

I?d like to thank all the third-party vendors who createthe products and services included in our survey. The products they create andthe risks they take to bring them to market are what these awards are allabout. Their efforts make our ASP.NET development efforts more efficient, moreproductive, and, hopefully, more profitable. Congratulations to every companyon the ballot; there would be no ASP.NET community without their efforts.

 

And I?d be remiss if I didn?t extend my thanks to all ofyou in the ASP.NET community who took time to vote. The asp.netPRO Readers? Choice Awards really do belong to you. Byselecting the winners, you have recognized those who have excelled at theircraft ? and issued a challenge to all the others.
