We won, we won! Not once, but twice. Agile Web Development with Rails snatched the Jolt in the technical books department and Ruby on Rails 1.0 took the Jolt in Web Development Tools. The framework was contending with JBoss 4.x, Backbase, Coldfusion, and the Zend Studio while the book took out Practical Common Lisp, Wicked Cool Java, and others.
This is such a great honor. Thanks to CMP for putting us in the running and the judges for picking us. I'm sad that neither Dave Thomas nor I could attend the ceremony in Santa Clara, California this evening.
Industry recognition from venerable organizations like CMP Media will no doubt help us break down the barriers that this young open source framework, born in little Denmark, and out of a small company still face against the big boys.
