Meet some of the contest participants here,
here,
here,
and here.
There were lots of great entries and picking one was a tough decision.
But luckily the process was simple and clearly defined for all the
judges. Each submission was assigned numbers between 1-100 in
8 pre-defined criteria and then a winner was picked. Now, don't ask us
about the total marks for each entry or the winning margin ;)
Thanks to all the judges for reviewing the entries!
Here are some guidelines I followed during the review:
- I looked at the blog and project website, how do I get started ?
- Is the project site well structured, with links to code, docs, etc ?
- Is there an installation/user manual ?
- Is the application a stereotype
- Is testing (unit, integration, stress, reliability, performance and others) integral part of the project ?
- Is it a simple JSP/Servlet application or any creative use of GlassFish ? For example, is the participant using Web services, Grizzly Comet, Rails, Grails, Admin console, Monitoring or any such features.
- Any usability or functionality bugs filed during project development ?
- How useful is the application in context ?
- Any NetBeans- or Eclipse-GlassFish integration features used ?
