Let me see if I get this straight, you want us to feel giddy about some award that a magazine site which promotes a language that was specifically created to slow down and/or destroy Java and in the process destroyed Borland, which left many of us with Delphi experience to twist in the wind.
Yeah, let’s all hold hands and sing Kumbaya!

That’s a twisted joke, right…?
In reality netmag actually promotes less or more CSS, Flash, and web design… it’s real magazine aimed at web designers. I believe the .net is just a name and has absolutely nothing to do with the framework.
Btw, voted. Go go Textpattern.

Some tough competition. jQuery and Android!
Piwik Dashboard, Google Analytics Dashboard, Minibar, Article Image Colorpicker, Admin Datepicker, Admin Google Map, Admin Colorpicker

The competition seems unfair with firefox and jquery competing against drupal or txp. It’s like rooting for Cyprus to win the World Cup.
Done.

Then they picked the wrong name for the magazine. I would have dismissed it and walked on had I seen the real magazine at a bookstore. I don’t know the history of the mag or how long it’s been out but I presume that naming the mag .net may have had something to do with the framework.

What if the, really unpopular not-so-interesting, magazine is way older than the Framework? Evil scam by Microsoft? ;)

.net framework was released 1n 2002 and .net mag was launched in 1994
From the same page: .net was previously sold under the name Web Builder in the USA. In December 2006, it took on the name of Practical Web Design in the wake of that particular publication’s closure in the UK.
So the change to .net, from what I gather, happened recently.

hi Bert, no, not quite: from .net Please note that .net is sold as Practical Web Design overseas, and goes on sale 4 weeks later in the US (6 weeks in Australia).
I think that the wikipedia article is referring to Web Builder closing and Practical Web Design launching. .net is around for longer and its name refers to the tld and not the framework.
