> O'REILLY TITLES SWEEP COMPUTER INDUSTRY AWARDS
> 
> 
> The Computer Press Association (CPA) has awarded top honors to
> "PalmPilot: The Ultimate Guide, 2nd Edition", by David Pogue, and "The
> Cathedral and the Bazaar: Musings on Linux and Open Source by an
> Accidental Revolutionary", by Eric S. Raymond. "The Cathedral & the
> Bazaar" was awarded the Computer Press Association's Best Nonfiction
> Computer Book, and "PalmPilot: The Ultimate Guide, 2nd Edition" won in
> the Best Advanced How-To Book category.
> 
> With an overwhelming vote, O'Reilly's Java books also claimed the top
> four spots on the 2000 Java Developers Journal Readers' Choice Awards:
> 
> "Java in a Nutshell" by David Flanagan (Winner: Best Book)
> "Java Servlet Programming" by Jason Hunter (1st runner up, Best Book)
> "Enterprise JavaBeans" by Richard Monson-Haefel (2nd runner up, Best Book)
> "Java 2D Graphics" by Jonathan Knudsen (3rd Runner up, Best Book)

> What the judges of the CPA 2000 Awards said about "PalmPilot: The
> Ultimate Guide, 2nd Edition":
> 
> "This book earns the title 'ultimate guide' by its comprehensive
> approach to the total Palm environment--on its own, communicating with
> a Mac or Windows computer, or online. The extensive information is well
> organized and based on things you would want to do with your Palm,
> rather than on features of the instrument. Graphics, subheads, and
> sidebars also help organize the text, and the conversational style
> gives it the feel of a tutorial from a knowledgeable friend."
> 
> What the judges of the CPA 2000 Awards said about "The Cathedral & the
> Bazaar":  "This book is itself an example of the innovative ideas it
> discusses. The printed edition is perhaps only a convenient-to-read
> version of the text, which is constantly being revised online. The
> author is in constant dialogue with other members of the open source
> community and revises his work based on new developments and insights
> from others. A fascinating read that provides a philosophical analysis
> of the hacker world and the open source movement, and shows how
> profoundly they affect the world at-large. Written from an expert
> technical viewpoint without excluding the intelligent reader whose
> technical roots aren't as deep."
