This time around we had fewer entries, but the quality was sky high! So instead of four prizes, we only have the Grand Prize and First Prize. Also, we decided to put all winning entries together with previous contests so that you will have a full selection. Download winning entries. In addition to photographs, we also included national flags.
Timo Hannelin, FinlandTimo was the 2nd Place winner in our last contest, and this time he moved up to the Grand Prize—and a well-deserved win! Using a MVC framework, Timo created a Hello World message in a wide variety of languages including Czech, Yoruba, Tagalog, Bemba and others! I believe you will find Timo’s entry instructive in how to create an international greetings in such a way to make it very easy to add more language classes. Anyway, congratulations to Timo again, and as they say in Basque—Kaixo Mundua!
Stéphane Pajon, Birmingham, England
Stéphane used the Factory Method Design Pattern to create a rich combination of expressing Hello World! Included in Stéphane’s mix is Arabic, along with Arabic script, all tucked into a Product subclass. ( رحبا العالم ) Even though your system may require Arabic, take a look at it anyway—along with the other languages Stéphane included.
