There are currently a couple of web-based surveys being carried out that you may want to take a look at. First up is the survey for people who make websites 2008 aimed at anyone involved in web development from designers to Ruby coders from the guys at A List Apart.
Nearly 33,000 people took part in 2007 and it will be interesting to see what has changed and what has remained the same in terms of salary, experience, education and working conditions over the last year.
The second comes from HAML creator Hampton Catlin in the form of the more Ruby-centric Hampton’s Ruby Survey 2008. At the time of writing over 900 people have responded, so if you haven’t already, now’s the time to get your entry in.
The survey covers Ruby and Javascript frameworks, testing, interpreters and in a bizarre twist ends with religious beliefs. It will certainly be interesting to discover if the Ruby community is big on new-age spirituality or is just a godless bunch of coders!
