There Is a New Browser on the Block, Google Chrome
Google has officially entered the web browser market.
Yes, the company that seems to have its fingers dipped into almost every digital pie from their ever popular and robust search engine to their powerful and highly used email application Gmail. The Mountain View, California based company now seems to have developed a taste for web browsers. Quietly in the seemingly never-ending corridors of their home office dubbed “The Googleplex” a team of developers has been slaving away creating a new type of web browser, Chrome. Read more
A List Apart’s Industry Survey for 2008 Has Cometh
A List Apart has compiled their series of survey questions for 2008 aimed at web professionals who work with and create websites and web based content. This survey began in 2007 in an attempt to “conduct a serious inquiry into the working conditions of people who make websites” and was aimed specifically at “figuring out what kinds of job titles, salaries, and work situations are common in our field”. The previous survey was taken by 33,000 web professionals and this year I would imagine there will be even more to add to that.
One thing I love about A List Apart is their openness in willing to deal with the public and web professionals as a whole. As per usual, ALA will make available all data, both tallied and un-touched for people or businesses with a desire to crunch and review the numbers themselves.
As we did last year, we will analyze this year’s data and publish the results for all to see in an upcoming issue of A List Apart. We will also, as we did last year, provide an “anonymized” version of the raw data, so that the highly motivated among you can do your own number crunching.
If your a web professional, designer, developer, information architect, project manager, writer, editor, marketer, or anyone else who makes websites I would highly recommend taking this survey. Interested?
