While we as marketers often perceive the Web and mobile markets as somewhat mature, our recent Developer Media Tech Trends study shows that there is still a lot of market opportunity and interest. Here's why. As technology marketers, and as people who spend our time immersed in the development market, we spend a lot of time on the leading edge of the market.

Developer Personalities Introduction: The Visual Edition
