TechNet Wiki: Technical Guru Competition - September 2017 Winners!

  • Artikel

All the votes are FINALLY in!  

 

And below are the results for the TechNet Guru Awards, September 2017 !!!!

 

The TechNet Guru Awards celebrate the technical articles on TechNet, contributed from valued wiki authors like YOU!

Each month, the contributions are scored by a panel of judges (5 per category, 2-3 in each are MS experts), and the winners of each category are showered with love and attention from all corners of TechNet.

See the links at the bottom, to find out more about the competition and how to enter.

 

We have picked the top three highest scored contributions for each category to bestow our awards upon.

The awards are in gold, silver and bronze, the gold obviously being the top winner of the category.

The last column is just a few of the comments judges made during the judging process.

In some cases, we have not obtained permission to use the judges names, so they have been reduced to initials.

 

My fellow wiki ninjas will be digging deeper into some of these articles in this blog series, so watch out for those.

 

A big thank you also to the other authors who did not make the top three of each category.

Some articles only just missed out, so we may be returning to discuss those too, in future blogs.

    It would benefit the competition if contributors could provide versions of their article in as many of the given programming languages as they reasonably can. For example a C# application can be easily rewritten in VB and vice-versa. This would double your target audience. Just a thought...
