Online resources are increasingly becoming the way that new developers learn. <\/span>Stack Overflow\u2019s 2021 Developer Survey<\/span><\/a> indicated that for coders under the age of 18, videos and blogs are more popular than books and school combined.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The development profession is full of new developers. Over 50% of respondents indicated that they have been coding for less than 10 years and more than 35% have been coding for less than five years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Coders are also starting out younger. The most popular age range for a person to write their first line of code was 11 to 17, with 53% of responses. Fourteen percent of respondents wrote their first line of code between the ages of 5 and 10, and 24% wrote their first line between 18 and 24 years old.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The survey also indicated that the pandemic has influenced work status for many developers, and a greater percentage of respondents now work part-time or are in school. The percentage of full-time developers has decreased in the past year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis may reflect the effects of the pandemic, which saw workers from all industries stepping back and reevaluating their relationship to a five day work week and in-person employment,\u201d Stack Overflow wrote in a blog post explaining the results of the <\/span>report<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

JavaScript remained the most commonly used programming language for the ninth year in a row. This year Python surpassed SQL to become the third most popular language.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

React surpassed jQuery as the most commonly used web framework, with 40% of developers using it. JQuery was used by 34%, Express by 23%, Angular by 22%, Vue.js by 18%, and ASP.NET Core by 18%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

AWS was the dominant platform among Stack Overflow users, with 54% of respondents using it. Following AWS was Google Cloud Platform at 31.05% and Microsoft Azure at 30.77% \u2014 nearly tied.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other popular tools developers used include Git (used by 93%), Docker (48%), Yarn (17%), and Kubernetes (16%).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
