Written by Ilham Boulghallat

Each year, the analyst firm, SlashData, surveys over 36,000 developers across 165+ countries in order to explore trends and understand developer experiences across platforms, languages, revenue models, tools, segments, and regions. This year, Umbraco has partnered with SlashData to bring more awareness around the Developer Nation Survey. A partnership that will help us learn more about the structure and needs of the Umbraco community, compared to the global developer community. We invite you to share with us your input by taking the survey!

What the survey covers

The Developer Nation survey is an independent survey for everyone who builds software: professional developers, students, hobbyists, as well as no-code creators. 

The survey tracks key trends in several development areas, and asks questions about tools, platforms, languages, technologies, and more in order to understand the upcoming trends in the developer ecosystem.

The questions are not just about the “what”, but also about the “how” and the “why”: why you got into development to begin with, what type of projects you’re working on, if and how you’re building a business around software development, and more.

The survey results

Depending on the number of responses that are submitted by the Umbraco community, we will be able to share with you an additional report that focuses on the Umbraco audience compared to the global developer ecosystem.

About SlashData 

SlashData Ltd is a UK-based analyst firm with a mission to help the world understand and support developers.

SlashData research data and insights come from their flagship, Developer Economics, an independent survey. This means that the surveys and data are not owned by a vendor, community, or partner.

The survey respondents come from several developer communities and through 60 different outreach channels. This ensures that the results are not biased towards the mindset of a single community or a specific geographic location. The respondents range from student communities to professional developer forums and from small local communities (such as Meetups in Kenya) to large vendor communities (such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Intel).

Loved by developers, used by thousands around the world!

One of the biggest benefits of using Umbraco is that we have the friendliest Open Source community on this planet. A community that's incredibly pro-active, extremely talented and helpful.

If you get an idea for something you would like to build in Umbraco, chances are that someone has already built it. And if you have a question, are looking for documentation or need friendly advice, go ahead and ask on the community forums.
