They reached out to web designers and developers through blogs, Facebook, discussion forums and so forth. 570 respondents participated, some highlights are here. Andre Charland http://www.nitobi.com Nitobi wrapped up their web development survey and have compiled the results. I'm embarrassed to say that Dion over at Ajaxian blogged about it the results before I did. Some of the things Dion found interesting are below:

Which development platforms are you using?

Java and PHP took the server side piece home (many said they were HTML/CSS front end folks). If you aggregate the Java technology (Java, JSP, Servlets, JSF) you get 394 versus PHPs 296, although it is hard to compare since you could choose “all that apply”. I am willing to bet that if you are doing JSF now, you may well have done Servlets, JSP, and other!

Which development tools do you use?

Eclipse and Dreamweaver had the most votes here, with a large number of Notepad people (teasing?). Textmate was that low?

Development Tools Results:

Are web developers use more Flash or more Ajax? 410 of the respondents are you Flash in their web development projects, that's only 10 less people than are using Ajax (420). Which also indicates there is lots of overlap. Good stuff:)

Also interesting to see which Ajax frameworks are the most popular. This went out the Nitobi customer base that's why it's middle of the pack, I suspect it would be lower for a wider reaching survey.
