Quick comments to the latest jolt Award from the U.S. software development magazine!

I will mainly talk about the award-winning bibliography (because I have recently been engaged in testing and defect management, I will talk about these two products later)

Unfortunately, I have never read any of the general books, and I have read three of them in the second type of technical books, which are accurate to being browsed. To be honest, it is not easy to write impressive books.

I noticed that both of the first prizes were published by o'reilly.
