[Hidden-tech] Pioneer Valley Software Development ProcessSurveyResults

[Bill Bither]

Sorry, I didn't see the survey until too late.  I check this list every
week or so (not regularly). Also just a minor gripe, I use outlook and
most of the messages are shown as an HTML attachment, which requires a
few more clicks for me to read, which means I don't read as often.

If you open the survey back up I'll fill it out for Atalasoft.

There seem to be a lot of web designers and 'web programmers' (php /
AJAX / Web 2.0).  In many ways, 'web programmers' are not really
'software developers' in the traditional sense -- they are creating web
sites / web content via specialized programming languages rather than
writing (standalone) application programs and such and are not
delivering 'software' itself, but are delivering *dynamic* 'web sites'
and 'web content'.  And many of the rest are various sorts of 'content
providers' (video, blogging, etc.) or various sorts of service
providers of one sort or another (ISPs, telecomm, IT support services,
etc.).  Some of us do several things -- *I* do contract programming
(when I
can), work on open source projects, provide web hosting, and do Linux
System Admin.
