Every year, millions of software professionals visit DZone.com to solve problems, build upon existing skills, and share their knowledge. The state of the SDLC is always changing, and keeping up with this evolving landscape of software development is where DZone shines. In 2024, we conducted a comprehensive survey of developers from DZone's global community to better serve the needs of our audience of developers and technology professionals..

DZone's 2024 Community Research Report is the result of this survey, and it's packed with insights about our audience and how it has evolved since we last conducted this survey in 2023. You'll learn about the tools and technologies that developers are using, areas of development where they want to expand their skills, and the methods and formats they prefer to learn about new topics.

Our analysis includes:

• DZone's Community Overview

  An in-depth look at DZone's readers: What are their roles in software development, how much experience they have, and what topics and skills are they exploring both technically and professionally?

• The Modern Development Stack

  Our research goes a step further to learn about the various languages, technologies, and tools that our global audience is implementing across their organizations, with a comparison of how usage has evolved over the last 6 years.

• The Developer Learning Journey on DZone

  To champion developers, we have to understand what they expect from DZone, and how they prefer to engage with the content. The final section of our research provides insights into the formats and topics you, DZone's reader, value, and will be most impactful to your work in the future.

These pages will consist of audience data and engagement metrics, year-over-year (YOY) comparisons, language and tool preferences, and preferred learning formats. Our goal is simple: to provide our global developer audience with insightful data about their own communities and industries. This data will allow the wider DZone audience to educate themselves and others throughout their individual career and professional development journeys.
