Michael, congratulations on the award! Release It! may have been my favorite technical book last year. Thanks again for a rich, insightful and fun read!

Congratulations. I'm about half way through the book, and it's really unique - gives a really important perspective about life in Production Support that I haven't seen in any other technical book. And you tell a great war story :)

Well deserved.

Congrats Michael, you deserve it! Nice job!

I just wanted to say congratulations and that I personally Highly recommend this book. It's one of the best books I've read in ages and I've been trying to get all the people I work with to buy and read it so we can work more effectively together.

I even blogged about it back in January actually.

Congratulations! It's a richly deserved award. I rank it up there with "Refactoring" and "The Pragmatic Programmer" as books that really changed the way I thought about software development.
