The Cloud Development Survey Report examines the concerns, intentions and current adoption of developers regarding deploying to and developing for public or private clouds. The report covers the full range of Cloud Computing issues, including: Private Cloud vs. Public Cloud, Private cloud management and data centers, standards and organizations, security, wireless Cloud Services, tool use, licensing, languages for use in the Cloud, and applications that will move first to the Cloud.

Conducted annually, 500+ developers

The Asia Pacific (APAC) Development Survey series is the most comprehensive research survey series in existence focused exclusively on developers and IT managers in Asia and Pacific. The regions surveyed for the report are: China, India, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and East Asia. This survey is a companion to the North American Development Survey and has a sister survey called Europe, Middle East and Africa Development Survey (EMEA). The APAC Development Survey has extensive analysis on platform and language use, the gradual acceptance of Linux, the advent and increasing adoption of wireless technologies and Web services, as well as technology adoption of all kinds.

Conducted biannually, confidence interval /- 5%

The Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Development Survey series is the most comprehensive research survey series in existence focused exclusively on developers and IT managers in Europe, Middle East and Africa. This survey is a companion to the North American Development Survey and has a sister survey called the Asia Pacific (APAC) Development Survey.

The EMEA Development Survey covers many development subjects, including: demographics; platform use and migration; language use; Web services; security; Linux and open source; Java development; general internet development; architecture and technology adoption; software development requirements; and development tools and issues as well as localization data.

The Emerging Markets Development Survey series is the most comprehensive research survey series in existence focused exclusively on developers and IT managers in Brazil, China, India and Eastern Europe. This survey is a companion to the Global Development Survey Series (including EMEA, APAC and NA). The Emerging Markets Development Survey has extensive analysis on platform and language use, the gradual acceptance of Linux, the advent and increasing adoption of wireless technologies and Web services, as well as technology adoption of all kinds.

Conducted biannually, confidence interval /- 5%

This series started in 1998 focusing on language, tool and technology adoption and intentions among North American developers. Attitudes towards Linux and Linux adoption are also measured and trended from 1999. Language use is measured and trended for C, C , C#, Java, VB, VB.Net, and XML.

The survey explores: demographics, platform use and migrations, language usage, Web services, security, Linux and open source software, Java development, general internet development, architecture and technology adoption, software development requirements, development tools, development issues and modeling configurations and managing applications.

A detailed report of extensive in-depth interviews with more than 350 developers worldwide active in mobile applications. Includes sections on demographics, app stores and the business of mobile devleopment, considerations, platforms, adoption of content formats, mobile development environment and tools, and location and map-based development. Cross tabs break down results into regions. This series provides information that is highly valuable for decisions on future product direction, as well as for product positioning, messaging and marketing.

The primary objective of this report is to provide baseline and forecast estimates for regional and global software developer populations and insight into adoption of various tools, technologies and languages. The information in this study will estimate specific developer target markets’ size in order to provide clients with an accurate gauge of the developer audience they are trying to attract. This study is intended for use by venture capitalists, software development tools vendors, server software vendors, operating system vendors, middleware vendors, and any other software manufacturer whose products target developers or who are impacted by the opinions and attitudes of software developers.

The larger goal of this survey series is to provide a resource for software vendors that will assist them in creating products that are useful, desirable and readily accepted in the marketplace. This survey series provides highly valuable information for strategic decision-making about future product direction, as well as for product positioning, messaging and marketing. Evans Data Corporation recommends that this study be used in combination with its companion survey series: the Global Development Survey series in order to completely understand the full scope and complexity of the developer layout worldwide. This report combined with the Global Survey Series provides the most comprehensive view of developers on a global basis.
