Developer Productivity Report 2012

See the report that Oracle, Red Hat and VMWare all took data from – with over 1800 respondents sharing their take on “the developer life” with us, including 1100 completed Java-focused surveys.

In addition, we take a shot at questions like, “How do Java developers spend their work week?” and “What aspects of the coding life increase or decrease efficiency at work?” Sound good? Then sign up to get the full report!

Digging into data searching for insights is always an exciting activity. Last year’s Java EE Productivity Report 2011 was focused on tools/technologies/standards in use (exclusive selections) and turnaround time in Java (i.e. how much time is spent per hour redeploying/restarting).

This year, we focused more on the abstract side of development. We wanted to know “What makes developers tick?” and learned a lot more about how the developer lifestyle. Our results include a lot of interesting trends and insights, so we broke them down into 4 parts:

  • Part I: Developer Tools & Technologies Usage Report – coverage of Java versions, JVM languages, IDEs, Build Tools, Application Servers (containers), Web Frameworks, Application (server-side) Frameworks, JVM Standards, Continuous Integration Servers, Front End Technology, Code Quality Tools, Version Control Systems
  • Part II: Developer Timesheet – How do devs spend their work week?
  • Part III: Developer Efficiency – What aspects of your job make devs more/less efficient?
  • Part IV: Developer Stress – What keeps devs awake at night?

    I miss EJB(3) as an independent technology in your survey. Would be interesting to know the balance between spring and ejb3, since I can’t imagine Java6 (88%) = EJB3!!

    Java 6 doesn’t mean EJB. Java 6 is the Java version used by the respondents.
