Telerik, a leading provider of development tools and solutions for the Microsoft .NET platform, announced today that Dr Dobb’s Journal has recognized its Telerik Premium Collection for .NET with a Jolt Product Excellence Award in the Application Libraries and Frameworks category.

“Congratulations to Telerik for a job well done,” said Dr. Dobb’s editor in chief Jonathan Erickson. “As the Jolt Awards judges acknowledged, the Premium Collection for .NET suite includes a raft of tools which makes a software developer’s job easier. Good software begets good software.”

The Jolt Product Excellence Awards recognize the most innovative, trend-making, ahead-of-the-curve products. Jolt Award judges look for software products, books and technologies that developers should be using today and honor products that are universally useful, simple while rich in functionality, or that redefine their product space. Dr Dobb’s Journal readers, Jolt Award judges and vendors submit nominations for the Jolt Product Excellence Awards in categories spanning every step of the application development lifecycle.

The Telerik Premium Collection for .NET includes all components needed to build stable, high-performance, visually stunning .NET applications. The bundle covers all .NET development platforms and features advanced tools that help developers maximize their productivity in all stages of their project’s lifecycle. The Telerik Premium Collection for .NET includes industry-leading UI components for ASP.NET AJAX, ASP.NET MVC, Silverlight, WPF and WinForms, as well as powerful tools for code analysis, data access and reporting. Also included is access to a wealth of product support and training.
