Both Industry Leaders and Newcomers Are Recognized for Innovation
and Technological Excellence SAN FRANCISCO, March 17
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On Wednesday, March 15, the editors of
Dr. Dobb's Journal announced the winners of the 16th Annual
Software Development Jolt Product Excellence and Productivity
Awards. The announcement was made at The Jolt Awards ceremony, held
at the SD West 2006 Conference & Exposition at the Santa Clara
Convention Center. The Software Development Jolt Product Excellence
and Productivity Awards are presented annually to products and
books that have "jolted" the industry by helping to create faster,
easier and more efficient software. "This has been an exciting year
for the Jolts," says Rosalyn Lum, technical editor for Dr. Dobb's
Journal. "Not only did we see an unprecedented number of
nominations in categories representing every phase of the software
development cycle, we also found an exploding richness of features
bundled in today's products adding to the complexity to today's
software development tools and to the judging process. And, there
were an equal number of new stars that have quickly moved to
address the needs that this very complexity in the development
environment has created. The winners reflect that innovation is
alive and well in both large established companies as well as new
bright and upcoming companies." Below is a complete list of the
