Battle of the Web Frameworks
If you had to build a website from scratch, which technology would you use to do it? Would you use an older more established framework, or a framework on the cutting edge of technology? How would you begin to make an informed comparison and an educated business decision? What if you could throw each web framework into thunder dome, watch them battle to the death, and see which emerged the sole survivor?

Well my friends, I'm here to grant your wish. On April 9th, 2009 four web frameworks will duke it out in "Doterati Arena," aiming to prove once and for all who has the right to wear the framework championship belt. The fight will consist of 4 rounds of 15 minute talks where each framework contender will tell you why you should use their own, and why their competition just doesn't make the grade.

Although the fight will inevitably contain much blood, sweat and tears, in the end the audience members will be the final judge as to who will emerge victorious (at least until next year).

Panelists: David Rogers, Joshua Blount, Jason Skipper

Moderator: Gregg Pollack

This event is FREE and open to the public. Come check out all doterati has to offer at this exceptional event.
