The 19th Jolt Awards were finally announced last week. Our own .NET productivity tools, dotTrace and ReSharper, were named recipients of two Productivity Awards!
ReSharper was one of the top three Development Environments.
dotTrace was recognized as a top productivity Utility.
Thanks again for making our products a success, folks. Keep developing with JetBrains, productivity and pleasure!
The list of global software conferences has recently been extended with a new exciting member - the Great Indian Developer Summit, which will host the second edition of Great Indian Developer Awards (GIDA) this year.
Celebrating software development product excellence, GIDA is India’s premiere awards event with 100+ nominees shortlisted for this year’s upcoming edition, the event’s second so far.
Our own ReSharper was chosen as one of nine nominees in the Development Environments category, along with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, Oracle JDeveloper, and six other outstanding development tools.
Other categories included Design and Modeling, Change and Configuration Management, Collaboration Solution Testing, Security, Content Management, Web Development, Mobile Development, Frameworks, and Database.
The winners will be announced and honored at the Great Indian Developer Summit 2009 to be held on April 25, 2009, in Bangalore, India. The awards jury is comprised of distinguished executives, seasoned industry professionals, and internationally recognized academia.
For more information on the awards and to vote, see official GIDA web site.
JetBrains tools continue to receive recognition and praise: three of them have been named finalists in this year’s Jolt Awards!
ReSharper, our intelligent add-in for Microsoft Visual Studio that you love so much, was honored as one of the five best Development Environments.
In the Change and Configuration Management category, the finalists included TeamCity, our distributed build management and continuous integration server.
And last but not least, dotTrace, our super-fast and efficient .NET profiling tool, was picked by Jolt judges as one of the best five Utilities.
Best of all, each of these products still has a shot at winning the big kahuna - the Jolt Excellence award, or maybe a Jolt Productivity award! We’ll keep you posted.
We thank you, our customers, for making our products a success.
Keep developing with JetBrains - and with pleasure!
We just opened an 80Gb performance snapshot. It took dotTrace only 34 seconds after launch to show the call stack!
The downside: no more coffee breaks while snapshots are being opened!
Our .NET products, ReSharper and dotTrace, are being developed as we speak. Yet we do not speak about that enough.
It recently came to our attention that our .NET developers are dying to tell you about the goodies they’ve been able to come up with, design and code. They want to share their heartwarming stories of additional application performance analysis tools, new intelligent context actions and ever smarter null reference handling with, well, anyone who’ll listen.
So, we’ve decided we’ll be bringing you tittillating news bits about dotTrace and ReSharper as they keep coming in.
Stay Tuned!*
*Tales From the Development Crypt coming soon to a .NET blog near you.

Søren Spelling Lund, a lead developer at Vertica A/S of Denmark, has posted a ReSharper 3.0 review at his blog.
Søren first points out the usability improvements such as our new keyboard scheme choices and a versatile set of options. He then goes on to mention the latest productivity tools added in ReSharper 3.0, including VB.NET support, To-do lists and Unit testing. He also praises a number of other features which we’ve had for a while but managed to improve in 3.0: background code analysis, code refactorings, code completion and others.
To sum it up, Søren declares: “Visual Studio brings a lot of productivity to the table… ReSharper takes many of these familiar tools to new levels and adds new functionality to the best development environment out there… ReSharper truly delivers on JetBrains’ promise of “develop with pleasure.”
We’re flattered 
The first bugfix update for ReSharper 3.0 is out. Some critical issues have been eliminated so you can enjoy the great new features of ReSharper.

The problems fixed include ASP.NET user controls, To-do Explorer, Unit Testing and some others. For details see this list of bugfixes.
Develop with (more) pleasure!
