SAN MATEO, Calif., March 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dr. Dobb's Journal (http://www.ddj.com/) has once again been chosen by software developers as the "Best Developer Magazine" for both of the categories measured -- Tools and Software Technologies -- in Evans Data Corporation's just-released 2006 Developer Marketing Patterns Report (DMP). Now in its 30th year of publication, not only does Dr. Dobb's Journal (DDJ) continue to be chosen as the world's best developer magazine, it continues to be the largest-circulated print publication as well. Janel Garvin, CEO at Evans Data Corporation stated, "Considering Dr. Dobb's Journal's impeccable credibility, it's no surprise it was also chosen as the most trusted publication for tools among Windows, Linux, C/C++, C#, XML and Visual Basic/VB.NET users." These survey results are reflective of an intense reliance and deep sense of loyalty for DDJ held by many software developers, architects and managers. Stan Barnes, Publisher of Dr. Dobb's Journal says, "Okay, Dr. Dobb's Journal admittedly has an unfair advantage in the software development industry, as its reputation for accuracy, cutting-edge approaches and in-depth analysis attracts the leading software professionals as its authors." Mr. Barnes goes on to say, "When these industry leaders want to showcase their ideas, they turn to DDJ first. The results are groundbreaking articles on the most important trends in software development."
