The results will provide insight into skills, salaries, hiring, retention and other issues facing the IT profession.

What sets this survey apart from others is that it deals with IT issues and those working in the industry.

It isn't a human resources-driven document generated by a recruitment firm. These results are by readers, for readers.

Other surveys don't directly address the views of people in IT jobs.

Information on major demographic indicators, such as size of company, location and industry is included along with years of experience, age and gender.
