High Performance MySQL (2nd ed.) finalist in Jolt Awards!

In the 19th Jolt Product Excellence Awards, our High Performance MySQL book is listed under the Technical Books category. That is so cool!

How I found out: I don’t think O’Reilly or any of the authors were notified of this, but I got a Google alert because someone else referred to it (interesting that the Jolt Awards site itself didn’t trigger an alert).

I have to admit that I’m actually “caffeine free” at the moment, but I hope Jolt will forgive me for that 😉

Peter noted that MySQL itself is not one of the database category finalists. It doesn’t have to be, but “traditionally” MySQL tends to always be a strong contender in these things. So I agree that its absence is somewhat noteworthy (in as far as the absence of something can be regarded as news).
