刚刚收到的消息，被一些人誉为“软件奥斯卡奖”的Jolt奖（也有称为震撼大奖的）最新一届评选结果已经出来了。总体感觉，还是一个商业化的评选。图书方面现在基本上喜欢推冷门。

一般图书类大奖被Dorset House Publishing出版的Adrenaline Junkies and Template Zombies: Understanding Patterns of Project Behavior摘得，此书作者团队极为豪华（人件的Tom Demarco和Tim Lister，需求专家Suzanne Robertson和James Robertson，再加上Peter Hruschka和Steve McMenamin），而且一直为Jolt大奖评委所喜，得奖也不奇怪。

插播广告，此书中文版已由人民邮电出版社图灵公司获得。译者征集中。后续翻译进度和样章，敬请关注本blog。

当然，我所钟爱的Pragmatic Thinking and Learning: Refactor your Wetware（中文版即将由人民邮电出版社图灵公司出版）名落孙山，不太爽。

获得生产效率奖的有：

• Emergent Design: The Evolutionary Nature of Professional Software Development by Scott L. Bain (Addison-Wesley Professional)>>此书中文版将由人民邮电出版社图灵公司出版，译者征集中。
• Intellectual Property and Open Source: A Practical Guide to Protecting Code by Van Lindberg (O'Reilly Media)>>这本书恐怕没人会出中文版了吧。

技术图书大奖被O'Reilly的Real World Haskell获得。此书将由清华大学出版社出版。

获得生产效率奖的有：

• High Performance MySQL: Optimization, Backups, Replication, and More  by Baron Schwartz, Peter Zaitsev, Vadim Tkachenko, Jeremy Zawodny, Arjen Lentz and Derek J. Balling (O'Reilly Media)
• Programming in Scala by Martin Odersky, Lex Spoon and Bill Venners (Artima Press)

呵呵，真是一个另类技术时髦的年代。《高性能MySQL》是本好书，而Scala那本似乎还不如Pragmatic的小册子。

更多评价，请参考我之前对入围名单的讨论。

其他类别获奖名单如下。说实话，获大奖的里面没有几个我听说过的。看来经济危机中，大厂商连这种银子都不花了。
