I am reading the results of the A List Apart 2010 Survey of People Who Make Websites and this is one of the graphs of their results:



Um... 4.6% of Developers have a skill gap of backend programming languages? I guess they could be a front end developer but that would just be weird!

I know a fair number of developers and I don't think that is an unfair number amongst people whose job title is "developer" - they're not all 100% competent. And given the huge drop in percentage between that and the other job titles, it's still pretty miniscule. Says someone who has a pretty huge skill gap of programming language.

I suppose I run with a group of people that are developers that do mostly backend programming. It just stuck me as really weird.

Do you want to learn programming?

I've considered the idea on occasion, but never really seriously.

It is fun, however, you sort of have to like it to be good at it. It is a good profession
