Last night the 14th Annual Jolt Awards were presented at Software
Development West in Santa Clara (www.sdexpo.com). I am very happy to make
several announcements:
1. Agile Database Techniques
(www.ambysoft.com/agileDatabaseTechniques.html) won a productivity award
(effectively runner up) in the technical books category. I'm happy to say
that it lost out to Dave Astels' great book Test Driven Development
(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0131016490/ambysoftinc) -- frankly,
if I had been a judge I would have voted for it.
2. Lean Software Development by Mary and Tom Poppendieck
(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0321150783/ambysoftinc) also won a
productivity award in the management book category. This is a well
deserved award IMHO and I highly suggest this book.
3. The Agile Modeling site (www.agilemodeling.com) was nominated but lost
in the web site category, losing out to IBM developerWorks. Call it like
it is, it's hard to win against multi-billion dollar corporations sometimes
-- maybe next year. ;-)
4. Several OSS tools won awards, including Hibernate, Eclipse, and
Preyvaler. Congrats to those teams for really great tools.
I was pretty happy about the results of this year's awards. I think it
reflects the current trends towards agile software development methods and
the use of OSS tools, trends which are only going to grow as time goes on.
