As your could read on Mike Blaaks blog, LogicaCMG organized the Internal RAD Race 2006 last weekend.
It’s a game between 10-12 teams. Each team exists of 2 persons and basically are using Oracle, Java or Microsoft software.
The assignment for the teams is known on the day we begin but comes always near to a real-life business case.
In short: This year we had to build a webapplication for licenseplate registration in the EU.
Teams are allowed to use all software, tools and libraries you can think of, but during the Race no Internet access is allowed (USB keys are not allowed also)

Fijsjan Heijkoop and I were team 7 and used the following toolset:
- VS.NET 2005
- SQL Server 2000 (2005 was way too slow for a RAD race :-( )
- NHibernate 1.0
- MyGeneration Code templates (custom build)
- And our own code libraries specially build for this RAD Race.
With 6 weeks preperation in our spare time (and some days of LogicaCMG) we took the 2nd place !
(after an Oracle team, but before all Java & other Microsoft teams)
It was really fun (and exhaustive. )
Hope we can kick Oracles ass next year...;-)
