Jolt Awards
The Jolt Awards are awards given out annually since 1991 for software development tools, including books.
Since 1991, the Dr. Dobb's Jolt Product Excellence & Productivity Awards have been presented annually to showcase products that have "jolted" the industry with their significance and made the task of creating software faster, easier, and more efficient.
For the first twenty years of their existence, the awards were sponsored by Jolt Cola.
