Hey Product Hunters! Software development evolves super-fast. A tool or framework used today might be obsolete tomorrow. Our intention was to take a snapshot of the industry, track how it evolved in the past and make an educated guess as to where it’s heading. To better understand these changes and to uncover the biggest challenges and best practices, we teamed up with 9 cool companies to collect data from more than 300+ tech people. This year’s report will give you the data you need to benchmark your activities against other survey participants, get some insights to further improve your developer team and keep up with the rapidly changing industry. Would love to know what you guys think.

@torok_tomi In a world where people are increasingly sensitive about who they give their email to, I would like to see a sample chapter I can download before I give you my email address to get the book, just an idea 🙂

@abadesi Good point! We published a blog post, highlighting 10+ charts from the report and I also uploaded some screenshots here from the report. I thought this could be enough. :) This sample chapter sounds like a good idea, gonna figure out how to add this option to the landing page. Thanks @abadesi! :)

Why do you ask for email? Why not make it public?

@yanislav_iliev Asking for an email address is our method to build our community, it's the most effective way to reach ppl (btw anyone can unsubscribe any time, no hard feelings). Using our growing list, we can improve the report every year since the sample is growing. We also offered an option for those who don't want to submit their email address -> we published a blog post, highlighting 10 exciting charts from the report.
Primer
9 companies and 300 tech people doesn't seem like an awful lot. There are more than 300 tech people in my dayjob company.

@mickc79 Honestly, I would be much happier with 1K people. :) Almost all of the 300+ ppl are coming from different companies. Last year, we managed to get 130 people, this year more than 300. Next year, we gonna hit 600. We're getting better at this. :)

Currently, the software development ranks as the number one job in the US. Although the demand for developers is nothing new, it has seen a significant rise in the last two years with the advent of technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain. The work of a developer touches almost every life on the planet. Hence, more people are moving into the development sector and picking the trending technology. This year is an exciting and important year for software development for several technologies, but what if you choose a technology for development and it goes out of trend next year? A few technologies became viable, while others became mainstream. It is a well-known fact that any technology can fade in no time due to new and rapid advancements rolling out every now or then. Hence, you have to be aware of the advancements in the technology industry and trends that can benefit your business in the future. The blockchain is a peer-to-peer network of interconnected computers for storing data or information which can’t be modified or stolen by anyone. It is a distributed ledger technology which removes the need for central entities. The blockchain development is quickly and rapidly gaining ground as all the industries and companies are either adopting it or planning to adopt in the future. Blockchain allows authentication of large-scale transactions in no time and removing the need for expensive intermediaries. Thereby, reducing costs. Companies associated with all the industries including healthcare are seeking blockchain to apply it in the supply chain, medical data, administration and more to streamline processes. https://bit.ly/2N3oSrh Even though the low-code development is around only since a short time, the technology has grown faster among the businesses. It provides a faster way for building and deploying enterprise-grade applications. Recently, a company like Siemens acquired the low-code development company Mendix for $730 million. This clearly shows that low-code development will be a software development trend in 2019 as it is overtaking conventional development methods. It allows developers to build software without much expertise in coding.
