Code Thou Art Interoperable? 

Interoperability ain’t the sexiest the word, or judging criteria for that matter, but alas, an important and meaningful word, especially to developers.  As you may have seen-Interoperability, Creativity and Usability are the three criteria for Code Your Art Out submissions.  Why was Interoperability chosen as one, of only three, criteria?  The reason is mixed environments are a reality, and the choice of what to use should be based on what’s best for your project. There shouldn’t be limitations because of interoperability issues. It should be a mood enhancer, not a buzz kill.   Becoming more Open and Interoperable has been a focus of Microsoft in the last couple of years, and people have been noticing, which is great. Now, let’s have some fun with it, and make some CASH MONEY BABY!  15k up for grabs!
