jQuery Wins .Net Magazine Award
Word has just come in that jQuery has won the 2009 .Net Magazine Award for best Open Source Application. jQuery was in the final voting with Firefox and WordPress.
Simon Willison graciously accepted the award for the team:
This award really goes out to the whole jQuery community and all the contributors that made jQuery what it is today. Congratulations!
This is awesome! Congratulations to everyone!!
Well done everyone. Firefox and WordPress are big names to you should be very proud to beat them both!
Congrats, but since when is jQuery a open source application? Its a javascript Library, not an application?
