OO languages, methodologies, and metrics (includes text version)

[Andrew Gray]

Hi,
    I sent a similar message a few days ago regarding a survey that
I'm using to gather some information about the use of object-oriented
languanges and methodologies, as well as object-oriented metrics.  In
order to gather some preliminary information for a study I have
prepared a very short survey form:

http://divcom.otago.ac.nz:800/COM/INFOSCI/KEL/people/andrew/survey.htm

which I would appreciate anyone who can spare a couple of minutes 
completing.  There are only six questions, so I'm not looking for any 
detailed answers at this stage, just a fairly broad picture of the
state of object-oriented development. 

Some people have mentioned that their firewalls do not allow access to
the 800 port on my division's server, so I've included the survey in
text as part of this message.  The form can be mailed to me at
agray@commerce.otago.ac.nz.  Obviously, only one form of the survey
should be completed by any one developer.

 I'm happy to mail the results to anyone interested and, if there is
sufficient interest, to the group.

My apologies to the group for the semi-repeat posting.

Cheers,
Andrew

Object-Oriented Software Development Survey

This is a small preliminary survey to determine the proportion of 
developers making use of certain object-oriented languages and 
methodologies, as well as their use of software metrics. Your 
participation in completing this form is very much appreciated.
