CMP Media's Dr. Dobb's Journal Voted Best Developer Magazine for the Third Consecutive YearPRNewswire-FirstCall Dr. Dobb's Journal (www.ddj.com) has once again been chosen by worldwide software developers as the "Best Developer Magazine" for both of the categories that are measured: Tools and Software Technologies, according to Evans Data Corporation in its just-released 2005 Developer Marketing Patterns Report (DMP). Now in its 29th year of publication, not only does Dr. Dobb's Journal (DDJ) continue to be chosen as the world's best developer magazine, it continues to be the largest-circulated print publication as well. Janel Garvin, Vice President of Research at Evans Data Corporation stated, "Considering the editorial breadth of Dr. Dobb's Journal, it's no surprise it was also chosen as the most trusted publication for tools among Windows, Linux and UNIX developers as well as C/C++ and Visual Basic/VB.NET developers. Among Java developers, DDJ tied with its sister publication, Software Development magazine, for the most trusted publication for new software technologies." These survey results are reflective of an intense reliance and deep sense of loyalty for DDJ held by many software developers and architects. A Lead Software Engineer and Dr. Dobb's Journal reader for nine years, recently stated that, "I use DDJ to keep up on trends in the industry and to make sure that the old adage 'don't use it, you lose it' doesn't apply to me! I enjoy the breadth of articles each month, as well as the consistent good quality of the technical material. If I am interviewing a candidate for a SW engineering position and that person tells me that they read DDJ that is always a feather in their cap." Michael Goodman, Publisher of Dr. Dobb's Journal, says, "It is important to recognize the unique relationship DDJ has with Master Software Builders and Architects, and the marketing opportunities this affords vendors." Mr. Goodman goes on to say, "DDJ's leading position results in an edge that no other magazine can deliver to technology vendors. As 2005 unfolds, we will be increasingly presenting vendors with new programs to reach and educate these important buyers."
