Visual Studio Magazine Announces 2017 Reader's Choice Award Winners
(IRVINE, CA, December 12, 2017) -- Visual Studio Magazine today announced the winners of its 24th annual Reader's Choice Awards. The 2017 winners are chosen by the readers of Visual Studio Magazine and honor the best Visual Studio- and .NET Framework-related tools and services in 36 categories.
"This year, Visual Studio Magazine readers weighed in with votes on their favorite products ranging from individual component collections to full-fledged frameworks," said David Ramel, Editor in Chief of Visual Studio Magazine. "Whether you're looking for just the right security solution or a good Web host, there's no better guidance than the opinions of your fellow coders."
Visual Studio Magazine presented three awards per category: Gold, Silver and Bronze.
The awards are based on the responses of Visual Studio Magazine subscribers. An e-mail invitation was sent to subscribers and responses were collected earlier this year. The online ballot, which was compiled by the editors of Visual Studio Magazine, included more than 400 products.
