How do YOU develop software?

Our research team from the University of Victoria in Canada is interested in which tools and media software developers use to support their software development activities. So, we are seeking a broad sample of software developers with diverse backgrounds and varied development needs to answer a survey! The results will be openly published so everyone can benefit from them, but we will anonymize everything before doing so.

Here's a link to the survey: http://leif.me/devsurvey/?source=chp

The survey should take about 10 minutes. If you are a software developer or a developer in training, we would greatly appreciate your input -- it could help us understand how modern developers work and in turn might help us shape new tools that support developers. We will handle your response confidentially. This is a purely academic study.

Thanks a lot in advance! We’d appreciate any help with distributing our survey -- if you feel like tweeting about it or sharing the link with friends or colleagues, please do!
