Dave Verwer, bless his heart, put together an amazing collection of developer statistics in this year’s iOS developer survey. From careers to conferences, dev tools to frameworks, he profiled the community to discover what is happening on our platforms and in our jobs. If you haven’t already been over to the survey site, go and click the link. Don’t worry, this post will still be here when you get back.

The raw data only goes so far. What the survey needs now is you. Dave is looking for community members to help analyze the results so we can better understand what all this data means. For example, we’ve come to love and cherish our dev tools in a way that was unthinkable just a few years ago. Are the high marks for Xcode universal or are  coders with, say, five or more years of development experience particularly grateful for this advancement?

If you have an interest in deeper analysis, Dave has tools to help you slice, dice, and Julian fry the results. Right now there are just four articles available that evaluate the core information (“Is WWDC already a virtual conference?”, “How popular is Swift?”), and they’ve been written by Dave himself.

This data is crying out for deeper investigation, more voices, and diverse insights. If you have time and curiosity, I urge you to reach out to Dave on Twitter and get involved.

This is a fantastic opportunity to give a little back to the community that nurtures our professional lives.
