Our referral program counts over 2,800 developers who are quick, smart, and masterfully spreading the survey with their local developer groups and communities. We know that all of you are very keen on winning the top referral prizes like $ 200, $700 or $1,000 USD. But only the top 50 will score rewards. So we recently spoke with one of our top 3 referrers from the previous survey, and he was cool enough to share a few tips on how to climb the leaderboard faster. Read, learn, and apply!
1. Spread your influence. Twitter is cool but in some countries Whatsapp, Telegram, and Discord developer groups are more eager to back you up and take the survey to support you. Test a mix of different apps and sites.
2. Be intentional. It’s ok if you share the survey occasionally to boost your ranking. But if you want to get to the top, it’s worth planning ahead. Try to be active on specific days or times when you know other developers will be scrolling through their phones.
3. Learn about the people before posting. If you’re posting in a new developer group, forum, or Slack channel, it’s worth getting to know the vibe of the group first. Some are more casual, some are all about learning, some love memes. When you share the survey with them, try to blend in as a native.
4. Some people love to hear about the survey prizes, some don’t. That’s ok. You can focus on saying that the survey is actually a good learning opportunity to discover new tools and platforms.
5.Use the promo material we have prepared for you. Feeling a bit confused about how to promote the survey? Don’t know what to say? Pick a few tweets, banners or promo texts & grab your custom promo link to share with other developers.
6.Remind people that they need tocomplete the survey, so as to count towards your referrals. Perhaps some have started the survey and paused. Give them a gentle reminder to go back and finish answering the questions.
7. Mention that thesurvey is closing on August 4th. It helps when people know that there’s a deadline and they need to act fast.
8.We’re donating $0.10 for every response to a charity that developers can select when they enter the survey. That’s a nice way to motivate people to support you and our survey too!
Hope these quick tips will inspire you and keep you in the game so that you can climb the leaderboard and win our top 50 prizes. Just remember to play fair and square and only promote the survey to real developers and software creators (sorry, you can’t ask your mom or cousin to click randomly!). Read our Referral Terms & conditions to make sure you’re playing by the rules. Good luck!
In our latest Developer Nation Pulse report we shared data on the top five emerging areas of interest to developers.
Around half of developers say they are working on, learning about, or interested computer vision, according to the insights from our Q1 2021 global survey of over 17,000 developers. Similarly, 45% are interested in cryptocurrencies (e.g. Bitcoin).
However, of the developers engaged with computer vision, only 15% are currently working on the technology. Similarly, only 14% are currently working on cryptocurrencies. One in four developers are currently learning about computer vision, while 29% are learning about cryptocurrencies.
So if you belong to these group, the following book recommendations might be just the thing you’ve been looking. This post was created in partnership with our friends at Packt.
Explore deep learning concepts and implement over 50 real-world image applications.
What reviews say:
“I felt the book is very well structured and compiled. Unless you’re looking for something very very specific, you’d be able to find techniques/implementations for any and all types of problems you are working on. They cover algorithms and implementations of basic neural networks, all the way upto RNNs and reinforcement learning with PyTorch. The breadth covered by this book on the number of techniques and algorithms is really amazing.”
Build advanced computer vision applications using machine learning and deep learning techniques
What reviews say:
“There are many books out there / but this book stands out – very clear explanation of codes and contents, lots of detailed explanations for object detection, classification, visual search, matching and training in cloud.”
Over 70 recipes to master the art of computer vision with deep learning and PyTorch 1.x
“This book is good for beginners to learn about writing deep learning model in PyTorch. Book goes from basic linear model to processing videos in PyTorch and covers variety of use cases e.g. use of GANs, Style transfer project.”
Build autonomous vehicles using deep neural networks and behavior-cloning techniques
What reviews say:
“This book is about how to apply deep learning knowledge to solve self-driving car problems. The technologies mainly focus on computer vision areas. It gives readers lots of code samples, which can help readers to understand the concept in each chapter.”
Implement machine learning solutions to overcome various computer vision challenges
What reviews say:
“By far, this is one of the best books to understand how to apply deep learning in the field of computer vision. The concepts have been clearly explained. It covers almost everything from image classification, image segmentation, object detection, etc”
Design and implement computer vision applications with Raspberry Pi, OpenCV, and Python 3
What reviews say:
“This book was very helpful for me because it covers a wide variety of computer vision topics and offers lots of well thought out code examples using Python, opencv, matplotlib, numpy and other computer vision software. I followed his examples on my RPi and found that they helped me get the format and arguments of opencv commands correctly to include little things like commas, parenthesis, brackets, optional arguments and the like.”
A practical guide to generating images and videos using deep learning
What reviews say:
“The book is a great quickstart into representation with neural networks. (I also read it more deeply at times and it is great for that as well. I myself have experience with high-throughput large scale autoencoders with TensorFlow and building Facial Recognition applications. I appreciated this book a lot.)”
A guide to converging blockchain and AI to build smart applications for new economies
What reviews say:
“Addressing such large topics as artificial intelligence and blockchain at best is a very serious endeavor. Whereas blockchain after a decade plus of existence has developed a useful understanding within its marketplace, that is not at all true of artificial intelligence, better just AI. AI is now well beyond 6 decades of existence as a topic and yet remains in an evolving state with much debate and speculation worldwide, especially over ethical and scope issues. So given that the reader of this book may be either one-of or some combination of a professional scientist, a developer or simply someone wanting to learn, then yes, Ganesh Prasad Kumble’s Practical Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain book is both a good and useful read.”
Building next-generation financial applications using Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, and Stellar
What reviews say:
“This book is for developers who want to learn blocking technology by building financial applications. Kudos to the author on providing coding examples and following it with explanation. Overall it is a good book on Ethereum development and I would recommend it for anyone who wants to learn Ethereum blockchain by building fintech applications.”
Learn advanced security configurations and design principles to safeguard Blockchain networks
What reviews say:
“This book is for blockchain developers, security professionals, and Ethereum and Hyperledger developers who are looking to implement security in blockchain platforms and ensure secure data management using an example-driven approach. Basic knowledge of blockchain concepts will be beneficial.”

Our latest developer survey is live. Let us know which emerging technology you’ll be exploring in 2021.
It’s a new era for our community, Developer Economics is now Developer Nation.
Over the last ten years we’ve gathered over 40,000 developers with one thing in common: an unyielding curiosity about what the future holds for software builders. Together with all of you we’ve run 20 global developer surveys, co-created over 300 blog posts, read over 20 reports, pondered over 300 graphs and tried to make sense of the emerging trends in the developer world and what they mean for you and your projects.
Now it’s time to reveal a new chapter. We want to be more than just a survey, a report or a newsletter you interact with from time to time. It’s time to shift the focus from us to you – a diverse group of curious and ambitions software creators who want more from the ecosystem: more support from the platforms, more value for your time, and more chances to learn from each other.
Why Developer Nation?
For the last 10 years we were known as Developer Economics. It helped us earned the trust of tens of thousands of developers over the years. But it’s not helping us resonate with many, many more software creators out there. The “Economics” part especially. We have evolved beyond analysing revenue models for developers. We’ve grown by mapping trends across a wider ecosystem of developer tools, platforms, technologies, and programs. The future is about helping all software creators (developers and no-coders alike) influence how the software is built.
We approached the new name from different angles: blending concepts, metaphors, acronyms, dev jargon, pop culture, creative spelling, crunchy suffixes, Latin words, fringe Greek gods, and more. We came up with 157 name ideas! We then asked around 1,000 of our most loyal members for a feedback. Developer Nation is the name that stood out the most with you. It was associated with trust and excitement.
With a new name comes a new responsibility
Our vision is a software development ecosystem that listens, empowers, and supports software creators to pursue continuous learning, build future-forward solutions without compromises. We want to help you feel confident in your technology choices and included in the conversation about the future of the ecosystem.
We pledge to do this through a global research, sharing with you trustworthy data about emerging software trends, and offering you new opportunities to connect with the people at the service of software builders.
How can you get more involved?
We’ll be testing new programs and channels through which you can connect with other software creators and platform leaders to exchange ideas and experiences.
We want to give you more space and opportunities to speak about the topics that you find relevant and other software builders will care about:
What’s in your toolbox?
What was your journey to becoming a software creator like? Your biggest mistakes and “a-ha!” moments?
Which software development trends need to be questioned and which deserve more attention, in your expert opinion?
Which books / podcasts / events / blogs / people inspire you?
What projects are you working on and how can our community help you test, give feedback, and earn users or followers?
Some of our links and form still refer to developereconomics.com and your user profile is still a bit of work-in-progress. Hang in there, we’ll get it sorted!
Say hello to our team!
Last but not least, it’s about time you met the people behind the screens who want to turn this into a real community!
If you are looking to learn more about Ansible, Azure, Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes, and their roles in DevOps, then this blog post is for you. We continue our series of must-read books with 7 DevOps books to read in 2021, as recommended by our friends at Packt.
Get started with Azure DevOps and develop your DevOps practices
What reviews say:
” In my opinion, it is definitely one of the greatest books I ever read for DevOps. Although I am Azure DevOps certified, I really enjoy reading this book and it gives me an extra overview of what I have learned. It is well structured and the fact that is simple to read and follow along makes it more attractive. “
Efficiently define, launch, and manage Infrastructure as Code across various cloud platforms
What reviews say:
” I had the chance to read this book and I was really pleased by its content. noting that this is not the first book or terraform material that I read, I would say that this book contains valuable structured information with also access to code used in various chapters. it is certainly an asset for those starting their journey with terraform.”
Automate infrastructure, manage configuration, and deploy applications with Ansible 2.9
What reviews say:
“This book is probably perfect for someone with reasonable experience. It was what I needed as a second book to get a good look at the ecosystem and a second opinion of how to use it. “
Build and manage your applications, orchestrate containers, and deploy cloud-native services
What reviews say:
” Great coverage of common Kubernetes and DevOps tools. I’ve learned about some of the tools I haven’t used before like Jenkins X, GitLab, Fossa, Trivy, Litmus Chaos etc. Although some of the long YAML files are provided in the GitHub repository I got the digital version, makes it easier to copy paste. “
Effectively containerize applications, integrate enterprise systems, and scale applications in your enterprise
What reviews say:
“If you have worked on Kubernetes at all, you have experienced the frustration of trying to go beyond a cluster that has a single config file and a simple layer 7 load-balancer using NGINX. This book does truly target not only the enterprise user, but any person that wants to learn topics that make Kubernetes a complete offering.
I have been looking into the external-dns project on my list for a few months, but I never got around to doing much – Much to my surprise, when I was reading the topics covered in the book, it mentioned Services and external-dns. Chapter 6, alone, to me is one reason to buy the book since it explained and showed me how to install Metallb with external-dns in easy to understand terms and hands-on configuration.”
The complete guide to accelerate collaboration with Jenkins, Kubernetes, Terraform and Azure DevOps
” I would suggest reading through each section before you work along with the steps. There’s lots of references to other resources that are not necessarily part of the topics being discussed ”
Develop and run your application with Docker containers using DevOps tools for continuous delivery
” When reading articles, tutorials and even books, that is very common that at the end of the reading you struggle about how to translate that to a real production situation. Believe me, this book is different. You get to the end with a sense that you are very likely to know what are the next steps to apply what you learned to your existent or new projects. And this means a lot. The book has some great balance from history, concepts, example and practice. ”
What books have helped you deepen your knowledge of DevOps? Do share in the comments. Looking for more books to read? We have also shared recommended Backend and Frontend books.
Discover solutions, techniques, and best practices for server-side web development with Node.js 14
What reviews say:
“Want to learn Node.js, brush up on your skills, or discover the latest features of Node 14 and beyond? This book is for you! Written by a senior developer and Red Hatter, With a thorough presentation of everything Node, Bethany Griggs delivers from cover to cover in this latest Node Cookbook edition.“
Server-side web development made easy with Node 14 using practical examples
What reviews say:
“This book is great. I had some knowledge about full-stack JavaScript, but this book has already taught me a lot. I wouldn’t say that this book is for a complete beginner to software development (coding), but it’s definitely good if you need to deepen your understanding of JavaScript, or if you’re interested in getting started with JavaScript from another backend language like Python, C#, Ruby, etc.”
Full-stack web development using .NET 5, React 17, and TypeScript 4
What reviews say:
“The book had a very methodical approach to building single-page applications through React. I am familiar with React and .NET separately and partly why I could pick up the concepts in the book faster but I believe otherwise too, things are laid out very clearly. Recommend it for beginners.”
Develop a complete full-stack chat app from scratch using Vue.js, Quasar Framework, and AWS Amplify
What reviews say:
“This book is a fantastic deep dive into building an end-to-end application on AWS. I really like the fact that he dove deep into many topic areas, showing how to tie everything together to build something that is a real-world use case. The information in this book can also be used in many other areas so the knowledge is very transferable to other scenarios and use cases.”

A complete hands-on guide to modern web and mobile development with React.js
What reviews say:
“I have books in my library older than most of the people I work with, maybe 200+ at this point and I would put this among the top 10 for content. Great book if you’re looking to get into React and/or React Native and the follow-along code samples actually work – big kudos!”
A fast-paced introductory guide to building high-performance web applications with SvelteJS.
What reviews say:
“This is not just a book about Svelte. Sure, you do build an app using Svelte 3, and while building it the author gradually (and with clear examples and explanations) introduces the concepts and syntax of the Svelte framework.
However, what I enjoyed the most about this book was how it was a practical guide for building static web apps. You’ll start with some overview of why static web apps (or JAMstack apps) are powerful, and then you get on to building. From setting up VS Code, all the way to production… and even with automated testing and DevOps!”
A no-nonsense beginner’s guide to building web applications with Angular 10 and TypeScript.
What reviews say:
“This book is typically useful for any front-end or full-stack software engineer who is completely new to the web development or has some JavaScript web development experiences but wishes to jump into the Angular world playing with the typescript.”
Get to grips with end-to-end web testing with TestCafe and JavaScript.
What reviews say:
“This is a very good book for
– Beginners who are looking for step by step clear instructions to use TestCafe right from setting up the environment all the way to writing expert level e2e automated tests
– Current TestCafe users to learn TestCafe internals and best practices.
The other aspect I like about this book is, it also provides compares between Selenium and TestCafe. This is very helpful for current Selenium users trying to switch to TestCafe and best use the benefits TestCafe provides.”
Discover actionable solutions for building modern web apps with the latest Vue features and TypeScript.
What reviews say:
“This book is a good introduction to Vue.js 3.0 and the main features which vue.js contains.The book contains a lot of examples, which gives you a good overview of the different possibilities that you have when working with vue.
For example, it discusses about vue files, plugins, vuex store, mixins, decorators, props, slots, vuelidate, and vue router, among others.”

What reviews say:
“Who the book is aimed at: if you self-identify as a data scientist, serious algorithms specialist, or even the quant type, then you won’t be disappointed! If you’re just starting in the field, the author has done the hard work of selecting some of the commonly used techniques & algorithms in the field today.”
A step-by-step guide to learning the implementation and associated methodologies in quantum computing with the help of the IBM Quantum Experience, Qiskit, and Python that will have you up and running and productive in no time.
What reviews say:
“I really like this book. It takes a step-by-step approach to introduce the reader to the IBM Q Experience, to the basics underlying quantum computing, and to the reality of the noise involved in the current machines. This introduction is technical and shows the user how to use the IBM system either directly through the GUI on their website or by running Python code on one’s own machine.”

We’ve already reached out to the winners by email. Do you recognise one of the email addresses as yours but haven’t received your email yet? Please contact us at community@developereconomics.com
The lists above only include prize-draw winners and not runner-ups. If the prize draw winners do not claim their prizes within 10 workings of us contacting them, then runner-ups will be invited to claim them instead.
Some of the winners have generously donated the cost of their prize to Techfugees, the charity we supported during the survey.
We’d like to say a special thanks to the lovely people at BaseCode, Dicoding, GitKraken, SitePoint, Sketchfab who supported us during our Q2 2020 Developer Economics survey by donating a prize – you rock!!
If you’re not a winner, don’t despair, our next survey, our 20th (!!), will be live later this year. We’re already on the hunt for some amazing prizes, and open to your suggestions. What prizes would you like to win? Drop us an email or send us a Tweet.
To ensure that you are notified when our next survey is live, sign up. Don’t forget to make sure the survey notification option is ticked.
