Qu’en pensez vous du #WebCup 2013 Maurice?

webcup banner

Pour la première fois, la compétition WebCup s’est tenue à l’île Maurice alors que cette compétition est déjà à sa quatrième saison dans la région  Le but est de concocter un site web en seulement 24 heures non-stop et ensuite de le présenter aux membres du jury.

Comme plusieurs îles y participent simultanément dont La Réunion, Mayotte et Madagascar, le compte à rebours s’est déclenché à midi le Samedi 18 Mai 2013 et évidemment, prendre fin exactement 24 heures après.

Les participants Mauriciens

Pour cette première édition dans notre île  plusieurs groupes y étaient inscris. Ci-dessous les noms et aussi le résultat de leur dur labeur de 24 heures:

  • Ceridian – http://ceridian.webcup.mu
  • Chesteroc – http://chesteroc.webcup.mu

 And the winner is

Après la session de présentation des sites web par les équipes respectives, les membres du jury ont proclamé l’équipe gagnante comme celle de ….. Esokia.

Les critiques

webcup team

Pour commencer, l’ironie du sort est que le site web officiel de la compétition WebCup est elle même constituée des pages non complétées et des images par défaut qui ne seront peut être jamais actualisées par l’organisateur. La preuve, 24 heures APRES l’annonce du gagnant, le site contient seulement des infos bidons.

Bon, passons. Revenons maintenant à la compétition elle-même. En tant que passionné du web et aussi développeur informatique,  je ne comprends pas trop les critères de sélection qui ont poussées le jury à proclamer le gagnant. Plusieurs autres compétiteurs avaient pourtant une présentation et ergonomie nettement meilleures et plaisantes. Même du coté technique, plusieurs équipes ont eu recours à des technologies nouvelles et innovantes dans le monde du web design.

Sans partir dans les détails techniques, quelque chose de très surprenante : Le site web gagnant utilise toujours l’icone par défaut de Drupal!

webcup drupal

Sans parler des espaces blancs sur la gauche et droite.

Par contre, j’était agréablement surpris par la qualité des autres sites présentés par les autres équipes qui ont su donner le meilleur d’eux mêmes ainsi que l’utilisation des dernières technologies qui donnent un bel aspect visuel mais aussi, une présentation adaptée et optimisée, même si vous visualisez le site sur une tablette ou un écran de téléphone portable.

Je suis vraiment déçu. J’attendais beaucoup mieux d’une compétition de cette envergure et surtout en tant que compétition dans une soi-disant cyber-île. Le résultat de ce WebCup 2013 m’a fait rappeler le concours Web D’or que Mauritius Telecom organisait quelques 10 ans+ de cela!

A bon entendeur, salut!

  1. I was very disappointed too. There was never a clear indication of what we should do. Should it be static or dynamic? Most of the websites that were made were purely static. We came up with an extensible and dynamic website where every part of it could be customised by the administrator. We also made an API so that other websites could access our tourism packages while using said API to populate dynamically a map.

    Somehow, after such hard work, i feel disappointed. Our presentation didn’t go so well and we panicked. We had to present on a 800*600 big screen. Maybe we were partly responsible for not catering for that resolution but who uses that resolution anyway? Should the jury only judge us by how well we present the website or how actually good it is?

    Basically, i feel very let down and i don’t know how you can expect a fair competition when the sponsors participate in the event.

      10. Esokia’s website sucks big time. garbage like fonts, no proper use of CSS 3 , they just used a CMS ( drupal ) and added content thats all , maybe some jquery slider plugins. but the overall was shit. the user interface itself is an insult to the technology they used.with the old and boring classic top menu with ugly colors on.

        This is not only my point of view but the point of view of many other software engineer/web devs..

        that website cannot even come close to what ceridian, e-services or even paperboat developped.

        Even a 2nd year Bsc student or a diploma student will do better than that , and at least that student will do it from scratch and put some effort unlike the so called “winner” of the webcup.

        and for the jury : whats the use of being the judges if your judgement about a website is the same as an IT illiterate person. ? or maybe are you biased ?

        on what grounds were marks given or the website rated ?

        Who are you to point out fingers at the “literate” level of people in a field ?

        Like

      14. A user has the right to criticize even though he/she does not know about the development of the product but we can surely know how a website should look like.

        Surely you do not even know what context awareness means and how facebook , google and other famous companies are striving hard to know how to provide good customer service (by having tons of data warehouses) with good final product. make the customer at ease , not by simply displaying garbage like fonts or just by insulting the whole engineering race by winning a competition with a CMS with no efforts done.

        In the end we are the final judges not you.. websites are made for customers (mostly people who do not know much about how to build one).

        Their decision about the winner of this competition is a reflection of their literate level and of how little they know about technology itself. Let alone other websites , just by comparing the “winner” website to that others in that same competitions everyone (but you and the same likes as you) is angry about that decision.

        To hell , even esokia removed the website from the server.. just try to access it , that website is down , while others are still up and running.

        Usability, performance , flow , appeal ,proper use of css 3.0 or even jquery (context wise) that website has none of them. I will not even try to talk about design pattern as they will not even know what factory pattern, observer pattern , inversion of control etc… is.

        so finally yes we do have all the rights and authority to judge a product that is made for us. and that final product esokia made was pure crap.

      16. hello atached below is the look n feel of a far west world. the site wasnt meant to be a site comprising of latest technology

        world. esokia got it right unlike some idiots who participated but
        didnt even understand the theme. they builded great websites with robust
        back end, api allowing other to conect, and their site was something
        which feels like the present nothing to do with the actual theme. some site was just in the present with stuffs from present world ( ie statues in ruins) other ruins and present day monuments as it is now. that didnt represent the living world of that theme. can u give me the portfolio of your 14 year nephew and his facebook i am eager to get in touch with that dude. actually does he exist ?

      esokia did a fabulous presentation hats off to them,

      and i find it strange when u say that the screen was 800 x 600

      in normal circumstance i dont find it corect when sponsor participate however for me it was a fair competition.

  3. All of these designs were not professional in my opinion for such renowned companies of the country but they did a good job with their backend I presume. The server provided by webcup was slow making such simple sites hard to load (or maybe the sites used way too big pictures)

  4. Just a reminder of whom the sponsors were:

    So the winner were not the only sponsor who participated in the event.

    I followed the webcup from abroad.
    But sorry, i totally agree with esokia being the winner.

    Unlike others, they did not come here to show off their special skills in Javascript/JQuery, CSS or coding.
    They presented a consistent website with the correct content and also not something loaded with a lot of Jquery plugins.

    And judging from some comments here, some are very bad losers.
    I think you were made aware that you had a presentation also to do.

    So you had to prepare.

      1. It was based on the theme that the “conventional”, “plain” and “flaccid” web sites did not have. It was well presented and overall good and in line with the theme and world they chose, not like some guys who “epic failed” their presentation and had to forfeit the presentation on the basis that their super duper utterly great genuine advanced website was not working as it should.

    C’est ce que WebCup m’a répondu sur leur page de Facebook. Je pense bien que ce sont les organisateurs qui doivent inviter les gens à participer ou même de donner un coup de main (aussi les idées/suggestions). Personnellement,
    j’ai pris connaissance de cette compétition seulement un jour ou deux avant.
    Tout d’abord, est-ce-que le comité du WebCup sont ouverts aux suggestions? Et suite à cet ‘incident’, est-ce-qu’ils s’expliquerons sur
    les différents critères de sélection ainsi que la composition du jury (sans toutefois dévoiler leur noms etc)?

    La balle est maintenant dans le camp des organisateurs. Cependant, suite aux résultats de cette première édition, je pense que nombreux seront découragés.

    Merci pour tes commentaires. (La discussion était bien chaude en tout cas). Tu as très bien résumé la situation mais cependant, il faut aussi se mettre dans la peau des autres participants. Etre pénaliser pour une “mésaventure” avec le projecteur ou même parce que les critères/attentes de
    la compétition n’étaient pas clairement définis
    sont malheureusement parfois dure à avaler. Surtout comme dans ce cas ou toutes les équipes ont travaillées d’arrache pieds pendant 24 heures non stop.

    Je ne vais pas commenter sur le site d’esokia encore une fois mais juste pour dire que certains participants avaient placé la barre très
    haut. Malheureusement ils sont restés sur leur faim. Espérons que nos web designers auront l’occasion de nous montrer leur compétences une autre fois.

    Si les directives n’étaient pas claires as-tu remonté cela aux organisateurs présents dans la salle durant toute la durée de la compétition ? Tu participes à un concours sans savoir sur quoi tu vas être jugé ?

    La présentation d’Esokia était nickel et ils le méritent haut la main. Ils se sont amusés à fond comme le thème (des mondes parallèles avec des portails pour faire le voyage d’un temps à un autre) l’a suggéré.

    Je suis déçu par les critiques qui pleuvent alors que pour une première, l’organisation a été plus que satisfaisante. Pourquoi n’organisez vous pas quelque chose de cette ampleur par vous ?

    1. @Moonpie: Désolé mais je n’ai pas eu cette commentaire. Les quelques commentaires non publiées jusque ici sont celles avec des mots déplacés qui ne méritent pas leur apparition ici. Je te donne ma garantie que toutes les autres commentaires sont publiées dans les minutes qui suivent dans la majorité du temps, même si c’est quelque chose de déplaisant à mon regard.
      Maintenant, pour te répondre, je ne trouves pas pourquoi je dois venir me prouver en tant que “passionné du web”. Prendre part dans
      une compétition c’est un choix personnel. Quelqu’un peut être passionné mais cela ne veux en aucun cas dire qu’il est dans le web-design. En tant que simple utilisateur du net, l’icone par défaut et les espaces blancs sautent à l’œil (surtout quand un bon nombre de personnes utilisent des grands écrans). D’ailleurs, j’ai bien fait mention que j’allais pas entrer dans les détails techniques.

      Justement, quand on organise quelque chose, on doit pouvoir
      prendre l’entière responsabilité et aussi accepter les critiques, surtout si on décide de le faire publiquement. On peut pas à s’attendre à avoir des yeux doux de tout le monde.

  10. Brb, getting some popcorn. So much drama over here, I wanna apply cold water on the burned area. The funny part here is to see the “hatred” among the people who competed against each other. Some are lowering down their company’s rep. Well, just my 0.02, this competition was a “blatant” joke. I also think that this showed that none of you (who say 24 hours is very limited thus we can copy) could take any serious job within a tight deadline. This then makes me wonder, how professional would your job be if you get a client who requires an urgent work within 2 days and writes you a big check. 🙂

    That’s just my opinion. If you don’t agree with it, please just post your reply with your arguments. I love arguments and debates and love winning them too 🙂

      1. “Les résultats à été annoncé” << And that's the reason for why I don't write in French. Well, that Muz guy shouldn't have said "haut et fort" that he should have won, agreed.

        But what I don't understand is how you simply took the words from what a person told you and said I quote "que C toi le meilleur web désigner/programmeur". So if that guy told you Yashvin is actually Bill Gates and wearing a mask you would have believed him according to that logic.

        And Yashvin is not the best, I am *Sarcastic laugh* 😛

        Back to being serious, noone is the best programmer in this country or world for the simple reason below:

        Code is poetry, everyone has a way of interpreting things and programming is no less. You can create a program in 1000 lines and I could to it in 10 lines and vice-versa. It all boils down to how you tackle the problem and work on it. The shortest code snippet and the faster one is definitely the best and this is what defines a great programmer from a superior programmer but that doesn't mean the great programmer is the best since the superior one might has his luck at something when the great one does not 😉

      4. Hello Whiz.
        The aim of this post was to gather people’s opinions about the competition but due to lack of information (as written in the post and comments), readers grabbed this post as an way to discuss about the different web sites presented.

        Improving WebCup, yes. But how can someone try to do something if the organisation itself is not communicating at all. It is as if they packed up after their business was over. When reading the comments, a few suggestions have indeed been made but definitely, WebCup needs to rework their communication skills. Without any information on their judging criteria, we end up with web sites, participants and a hell lot of comments whereby each one is justifying themselves for the work done (or critisizing others). Practically a battlefield as you said.

        Just imagine this: If WebCup came forward to justify or at least critisize and rate the work of the groups, each participant would be today in front of what went wrong and how it can be improved.

      5. Once more, for someone who was not around, how can you say with so much confidence the organisation did not communicate well ?

      Lastly when you code responsive websites, you need to consider that there are different screen sizes for tablets, and one of them is the famous 800×600. Learn to make your website future proof with the fact that there can be more different screen sizes in the coming months.

  19. Guys the flamings will go on and on until it will be out of hand, to make a summary, i would like to say the competition was fair and was fairly judged. however some people didnt understand the underlying theme and made modern websites. whilst the website was required to be something very belonging to a certain specific era. as i said again and again some website were too modern and pictured stuffs from nowadays world ( ie recent pictures of monuments , buildings) if u look carefuly sites that won prizes were sites that really had the look and feel of a very past website ( as if it was made for that time)

    FRCI and paperboat was eliminated at first sight i guess as their site didnt reflect anything as the judge expected they were too modern and like a present day website,

    webthug had nice designs even though they were copy right it was well colated together and quite impresive no one judged them on the engine or template or website they copied

    esokia had the look and feel like i said of a far west, also pictured picture of a wanted guy like a ( orange.mu) of that time

    it seem webthug and chesteroc was at same design level as far as i heard however since chesteroc got the best technique) webthug won the design, chesteroc pictured the 3d map of that time with information of flights on the dragons, the website was responsive and the look and feel did seem to that time stuff.

    copyright material wasnt dis allowed, nor there was any mention about what kind of back office used or not to use template not to copy site. the competition was to use ur imagination to make a portal kind of thing.

There are people out there organizing competition just to get ideas …like http://www.suc*ess.mu. One day you’ll see someone cashing millions on your work.

    1. IMHO, your comment is a conspiracy.

      Any competition of these nature have provisions for intellectual property. Before joining any such competitions, one must read and agree to the terms.

      “Article 4: Patents and Copyrights
      Applicants will maintain full ownership of their patents and copyrights if any”.
      http://www.success.mu/rules.html

      “6/ Propriété intellectuelle et droits d’auteurs
      L’association WEBCUP s’engage à ne faire aucun commerce de quelque nature (vente, échange, etc…) des travaux réalisés par les candidats dans le cadre de la WebCup.”

      Btw, I would be interested in knowing that idea worth millions that was stolen from you 😉

      2. As far as the Webcub is concerned, I am not convinced that the competition was organized to steal ideas. Actually, it turned out that the participants stole ideas from others 😉

      3. I don’t have to convince you. I’ve been in IT since 1988 I been in the Government as IT Coordinator on contract for 18 month. I’ve worked for several Private companies and I am 56 years. It is just my views. If you are confirming Participant stole ideas from others …Where is the COPYRIGHT protection you made reference to Article 4 and 6/ ???????
