In the time that I’ve been doing the QHJ I have received responses like “good job”, “nice work”, but very little actual comments (good or bad) on the overall content of the QHJ. In thinking of what to put into this issue, the idea of a reader survey popped in to my head.
I am hoping that a number of you will respond to the survey and help me is figuring out what direction the QHJ should take. I would like to know what sort of articles you prefer and want. I want to know what languages you prefer. I want to know the level of programming knowledge you know. All of this will help me figure out what sort of people read the QHJ.
In the past I’ve just guessed at what to cover. I’ve put in articles that I found interesting. I’ve included stuff that I thought others would find interesting. But, it’s always been a guess.
