AUSTIN, Texas (January 24, 2005)— REAL Software announced today that REALbasic 5.5 for Windows Professional Edition has been selected as a finalist by CMP Media's Software Development magazine for this year's Jolt Product Excellence and Productivity Awards. The product was selected as a finalist in the Languages and Development Environments category.
"It is an honor for REALbasic and REAL Software to be recognized by Software Development magazine as a finalist for this prestigious Jolt award," stated Geoff Perlman, president and CEO of REAL Software, Inc. "We hope this will encourage Windows developers to try REALbasic and see for themselves how easy it can be to create cross-platform software for Windows, Mac and Linux."
For the past 14 years, Software Development Jolt Product Excellence and Productivity Awards have been presented annually to products that have "jolted" the industry with their significance and made the task of creating software faster, easier and more efficient. Jolt cola, the fabled soft drink quaffed by software developers for sustenance during development project marathons, sponsors the awards presentation.
This year's awards ceremony will take place on March 16 at the Santa Clara Convention Center during SD West 2005, which attracts more than 3,000 software developers, renowned industry speakers and press annually. Winners will also be featured in the June issue of Software Development magazine.
