ZDNet UK blogger Adrian makes awards shortlist

The people have spoken. Our app dev blogger extraordinaire, Adrian Bridgwater, has reached the final shortlist of the Computer Weekly IT Blog Awards 08. We're very happy that the (ahem! rival) publication has recognised Adrian's work as among the "pick of this year's must-read blogs for IT professionals in the UK".

Adrian is one of ZDNet UK's Core Techs expert bloggers, and over the months he's kept his eye on emerging techniques, the daily demands and the big industry players in applications development. He's travelled the world--including VMWorld--to report back from events such as the IBM Rational Software Developer Conference for people who couldn't get there. And his posts often have a trademark quirk to them--who could forget "Seven reasons to love developers on Valentine's Day"?

So if you enjoy his blogs, why not take a moment to cast a vote for Adrian? He's up for an award in the Programming and technical blogs category. We wish him good luck.
