Background Of Authors

Notes:

This question was new for this survey. Respondents could choose more than one answer.

Almost half (47.5%) of respondents had some formal training in programming. A programming background was especially common among European respondents (59.8%). About a quarter had training in communication but very few have training in graphic design or fine arts.
