The Future's So Bright We Gotta Wear Shades

The Survey
The survey was completed by 781 people over a one-week period in March 2007. It was promoted solely in Jon Erickson's blog on www.ddj.com. Some interesting statistics about the respondents:
The data from this survey, my previous DDJ surveys, the original questions, and a slide deck summarizing key results, can be downloaded from www.ambysoft.com/surveys/. My hope is that you can take advantage of these resources for your own purposes, and if you happen to discover anything interesting, please let me know so I can share it with others. |
