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."

JavaOne bestsellers

Since 1996, JavaOne has been the premiere event in the Java community, bringing together developers, vendors, and technology leaders for a week of seminars, sales pitches, and parties. For almost as long, publishers have eagerly awaited the show's bestseller list, where attendees recognize the most compelling books by voting with their dollars. This year, Manning claimed four of the top ten slots.
Making Java Groovy is a practical handbook for developers who want to blend Groovy into their day-to-day work with Java.
