Jolt大奖素有“软件业界的奥斯卡”之美誉，共设通用类图书、技术类图书、语言和开发环境、框架库和组件、开发者网站等十余个分类，每个分类设有一个“震撼奖”（Jolt Award）和三个“生产力奖”（Productivity Award）。一项技术产品只有在获得了Jolt奖之后才能真正成为行业的主流，一本技术书籍只有在获得了Jolt奖之后才能真正奠定经典的地位。
JOLT大奖共设有：通用图书、技术图书、配置管理、协作工具、数据库引擎/数据库工具、设计工具/建模、开发环境、企业工具、库/框架、移动开发工具、项目管理工具、安全工具、测试、测试、工具、Web开发工具、Web网站/开发者网络等分类。
虽然随着Dr.Dobb's Journal和Software Development杂志的相继停刊，这个奖项的影响力已不如前，但它的水准一直保持得不错，将获奖列表视为经典书单基本靠谱。这个奖项我们也不用过分较真，以仅供参考的态度视之最好，毕竟本质上还是一种商业活动，需要交钱才能参加的。其中应该有很多搞平衡啊、历史渊源啊、关系啊、商业方面的因素。
