DesignAday

My name is Jack Moffett. I am an Interaction Designer with over ten years of experience. According to Herb Simon, that makes me an expert, so I must have something worth sharing. I have started this venture as an exercise to spur critical thinking about my chosen profession. I hope that others may find it thought provoking as well.

DesignAday will present a brief thought about Design every weekday.

Working with Developers Survey: Languages

One of the questions in my survey asked what languages respondents were proficient in. I categorized the languages by type and turned the responses into a treemap with the help of Many Eyes.

As you can see, client side languages are the most popular, with HTML and CSS leading the way. That is no surprise. JQuery is the most used JavaScript library. I think it significant that JS libraries are getting more attention than JavaScript itself. I thought that Objective-C might turn up a little larger due to designers wanting to build their own iApps. I was surprised that ActionScript wasn’t more prominent, but it had the same number of respondents as Java.
