The winners of Verum’s ASD:Suite Contest have been selected. The contest, which kicked off in April, gave software engineers in Europe full access to Verum’s newest ASD:Suite. The challenge was to use the imagination together with the ASD:Suite to build a practical and illustrative application of any kind, for any device.
Ten winners have been selected as either “very cool” or “highly efficient”. The most impressive, innovative, illustrative and outright cool applications for publication where selected in the Coolness category. Efficiency in development is measured by a specific set of ASD metrics, selecting the winners for the Efficiency category.
Each of the top ten winners will receive an Apple iPad2 during a special award ceremony held at the ASD user group meeting on Tuesday October 4, we hope all winners will be present during the iPad party.
