Men who feel strong in the justice of their cause, or confident in their powers, do not waste breath in childish boasts of their own superiority and querulous depreciation of their antagonists.
--James Russell Lowell, 1861

Want to win a trip to TechEd 2011?

INETA NorAm is hosting a contest with our partners to see who can build an .NET application making effective use of reusable components to solve a problem.

The Rules:
Any .NET Application (WinForms, ASP.NET, WPF, Silverlight, Windows Phone 7, etc.) built in the last year (since 1/1/2010) using at least 1 component from at least 1 approved vendor. Then make a 3 - 5 minute Camtasia video showing your entry and describing what component(s) you used and why your application is cool. Our judges will review the submissions and the best two will win a scholarship to Tech·Ed 2011, May 16-19 in Atlanta GA including airfare, hotel, and conference pass.

The Judging:
Entries will be judged on four criteria:

  1. Effective use of a component to solve a problem/display data
  2. Innovative use of components
  3. Impact using components (i.e. reduction in lines of code written, increased productivity, etc.)
  4. Most creative use of a component.

Timeline:
Hurry! The submission deadline is March 15, 2011 at Midnight Eastern Standard Time.

More information can be found on the INETA Component Code Challenge page: http://ineta.org/CodeChallenge/Default.aspx
