An Open survey in trying to understand how people like to learn programming in the Geospatial world

Just out of curiosity, why are you taking this survey again?

Oh, BTW, the results are open and available for everyone to view!

Do I really have to answer this? Next question please!

Just to know what is this all about!

Because the results are open and I would love to know what others think about it as well

Because its a Geoawesome survey ;)

What is your favourite way to learn a new language or API? *

Nope! Never!

Only sometimes

A bit of this, a bit of that

More often than not

All the time! That's my go-to method

Enroll in a course at the university or Online

Online tutorial and Getting started guides

Just start with it and try to figure it out as things progress! Oh that and Stack Overflow

Well, Just get some else to do it ;)

Using the API documentation and other "official" documents

If you had a magic "coding" wand, what would you like do with it?

Not really

Maybe

Not sure. Maybe, maybe not!

Sure, lets try doing that

Yup, that's the dream!

Create more interesting tutorials to help people to code

Create a super interesting Online course that helps learn programming better

Teach programming to robots and eliminate this whole idea of having to write code :)

Write a book on programming. An interesting one!

Improve all the coding documentations!

Get all those unanswered "weed" questions in Stack Overflow answered!
