GVU's Seventh WWW User Survey Author Graphs

Hours Spent Learning HTML

Notes:

As in the Sixth and Fifth Surveys, most authors (71.51% Seventh vs. 79.10% Fifth) spent between 1 and 6 hours learning HTML with close to half spending only 1 to 3 hours (43.53% Seventh vs. 49.72% Fifth). However, the overall time spent learning HTML has increased in the past year. Given the more extensive programming background of the European authors, it is not surprising to find that it takes less time for European authors to learn HTML than their US counterparts. 1.58% of the respondents report never having learned HTML, down from 3.1% in the Sixth Survey.
