Bossies 2011: Application development

Open source is the lifeblood of application development, and of course there are many more great tools than we recognize here. In picking this year's winners in the category, we zeroed in on the hottest of the new trends: server-side JavaScript, NoSQL databases, coding for touch-driven mobile devices, distributed data processing, distributed version control, and continuous integration. We also recognize the best PHP and Python Web development frameworks we've tested.
