I want to extend a heartfelt congratulations to Venkat Subramaniam and Andy Hunt on Practices of an Agile Developer being named a 2007 Jolt Product Excellence Finalist! I was lucky enough to get an early look at PaD and I can’t recommend it enough. In case you missed it, Pragmatic Bookshelf has been on quite a run of late - Chad Fowler’s Rails Recipes was also named a finalist and this will mark the third year in a row that a Prag book as made the list (they’ve won two for the record). Anyway, a big W00T to Venkat, Andy, and Chad!!
Congrats PaD!
