Source of New and Advanced  Scientific Knowledge of Software Practitioners
This survey is part of a research project that is currently being conducted at Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden. It is aimed at understanding where software practitioners, like yourself, obtain new and advanced knowledge. In order for academic researchers to reach you in a better way, we want to understand how you obtain new and advanced knowledge which contributes greatly in improving your professional activities. Therefore we need your participation.
