Subject: RE: RE: [xsl] New Developer Survey Shows XQuery Adoption Skyrocke ting From: Pieter Reint Siegers Kort <pieter.siegers@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2005 18:19:53 -0600 |
I agree that the sample of developers taken would have a special interest in using XQuery over time, not because they don't like XSLT but because they want/need to use it related to RDBMs. I know I'm one of them. Anyway, XSLT evangelists could be doing the same thing, surveying 550 members of this list for example. Anyone can predict the output... and after that XQuery fans will say it's fluff. :-) Cheers, <prs/> -----Original Message----- From: Michael Champion [mailto:michaelc.champion@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 5:03 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: RE: [xsl] New Developer Survey Shows XQuery Adoption Skyrocketing On Tue, 29 Mar 2005 17:25:57 -0500, cknell@xxxxxxxxxx <cknell@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Note the terms "comprehensive industry-wide" and the reference to "margin of error". If the claim is not explicit, it is implicit in the use of these terms in the context. I'm lining up with the sceptics, it's a self-serving piece of marketing fluff. > -- Also note http://weblogs.java.net/blog/jonbruce/archive/2005/03/recent_finding_1.html "'52% of XML developers have already started working with XQuery in the last 12 months and another 33% have plans to start using XQuery in 2005" That sounds like a claim that they have taken a representative sample of XML developers as a whole. As I said on xml-dev, I can easily believe those figures if the population being sampled is developers building XML applications on top of a DBMS. But that's a different population than "XML developers".
