Survey Results

The Code Project "Who are we and what do we do" Survey   [Edit]

Survey period: 17 Oct 2002 to 5 Nov 2002

It's always interesting to find out more about each other. Ever wondered how your company stacks up against everyone elses? Whether you're getting paid enough? Or whether there are any other application architects lurking around?

This demographic survey is here for three reasons: To give you all a chance to find out more about each other; To help us decide what services we should be concentrating on providing you all; and to allow us to convince advertisers (the guys who pay our bills) to provide us with information on products that we actually care about.

The survey should take no more than a minute. Spending those 60 seconds filling this out will help CodeProject enormously. Thanks in advance everyone!

Actually, I'm not interested in who, but what companies
they work for, or what sort of job are they doing;)
