[closed] DZone's 2025 Developer Community Survey

Another year passed right under our noses, and software development trends moved along with it. The steady rise of AI, the introduction of vibe coding — these are just among the many impactful shifts, and you've helped us understand them better.

Now, as we move on to another exciting year, we would like to continue to learn more about you as software developers, your tech habits and preferences, and the topics you wish to know more about. With that comes our annual community survey — a great opportunity for you to give us more insights into your interests and priorities. We ask this because we want DZone to work for you.

Click below to participate ⬇️ [This survey is now closed. Thank you to all who participated!]

And as a small token, you will have a chance to win up to $300 in gift cards and exclusive DZone swag! All it will take is just 10–15 minutes of your time. Now, how cool is that? 

Over the years, DZone has remained an ever-growing avenue for exploring technology trends, looking for solutions to technical problems, and engaging in peer discussions — and we aim to keep it that way. We're going to need your help to create a more relevant and inclusive space for the DZone community. 

This year, we want to hear your thoughts on:

• Who you are as a developer: your experience and how you use tools
• What you want to learn: your preferred learning formats and topics of interest
• Your DZone engagement: how often you visit DZone, which content areas pique your interest, and how you interact with the DZone community

You are what drives DZone, so we want you to get the most out of every click and scroll. Every opinion is valuable to us, and we use it to equip you with the right resources to support your software development journey.

And that will only be possible with your help — so thank you in advance!

— Your DZone Content and Community team and our little friend, Cardy
