2013 Jolt! award winners
For two decades, Dr. Dobbs magazine has
offered Jolt! awards to books and software products voted "Best in
Class" by their readers. This year, two Manning books, Taming Text
and Dependency Injection in
.NET, received Jolt! awards. Here's some of what Dr. Dobbs Editor in
Chief Andrew Binstock had to say about them.
On Taming Text:
"Perhaps once a year, I have the experience of picking up a book and
immediately becoming absorbed by it. I started reading Taming Text
and found myself devouring the book. The authors' explanations are supremely
readable and the solutions are presented with code implementations. The authors
demonstrate time and again, there are good, available tools and specialized
algorithms that can get you through the wilderness." [read more]
On Dependency Injection in
.NET, Binstock commented: "There are certainly other books on
the market that cover DI and IoC, but none of them explain the principles and
the design of these patterns as well or as thoroughly as this book. It's the
definitive guide to DI and the first place architects and implementers should
turn for a truly deep and complete understanding of the pattern--regardless of
whether .NET is part of their toolkit." [read more]

dollars. This year, Manning claimed four of the top ten slots.
