Jolt Product Excellence Awards Finalist

Jason Beres [Infragistics] / Monday, February 2, 2009

I just learned that Infragistics has the honor of being a finalist in the 19th annual Jolt Product Excellence Awards (aka The Jolts - http://joltawards.com/), considered the Oscars for the tech industry.  A description from The Jolts website about the types of judges and products that end up being judged:

 

The Jolt Judges are recognized as forward-looking gurus, who provide insight into the latest and most promising industry trends. They define which software development products are ahead of the curve. They honor products that are universally useful, that are simple, yet rich in functionality, or that redefine their product space. Entering the Jolts provides the opportunity for your product to be recognized by the judges and honored with a prestigious industry award.

 

Our category is “Frameworks and Libraries”, which is the same category we won a Jolt Award for in 2007 - http://www.ddj.com/architect/201001430.  This is a really exciting category to be in; previous winners in the category include Microsoft, for .NET Framework 2.0, and Google, for Guice - http://code.google.com/p/google-guice/ -  (which doesn’t appear to have taken off just yet).  We’ll find out the results at SD West in March … our fingers are crossed!
