Bam! Pow! SD Times 100!

The winners are…. YOU! If you’re a software developer, or development manager, you’ll want to read SD Times’ fifth annual SD Times 100, a listing of the most important companies, people and projects in the software development industry.

The 2007 SD Times 100 came out today, in the June 1, 2007, issue of SD Times, and of course on our Web site, where we write:

Foiling malicious attacks where they may strike! Stomping out evil, site-bleeding bugs from the netherworld! Single-handedly lifting development teams out of harm’s way! Look! Up and down the list! It’s a leader! It’s an influencer! It’s the SD Times 100 (with apologies to DC Comics)!

This marks the fifth year we have given a nod to the organizations and individuals who have demonstrated leadership in their markets, based either on their share of those markets or on their technological innovation. This year’s SD Times 100 shines a somewhat brighter light on the industry “Influencers” — those companies that we’ve identified as having the greatest impact on the software development landscape. Our lists of winners, by category, remain the same. These, then, are the newsmakers and noisemakers of 2006.
