3 ABOUT THE REPORT 9 TH EDITION DEVELOPER ECONOMICS 3,150+ IOT DEVELOPERS SURVEYED 140+ COUNTRIES COVERED 5M+ IOT DEVELOPERS IN THE WORLD TODAY Get the full report for more data and insights or contact VisionMobile for more details. Key questions that this report answers: What matters more to IoT developers: simplicity, features, reliability, or commercial opportunity? Is great documentation just an implicit expectation towards developer support programs, or is it a key differentiator? How have the best IoT developer programs approached the need for integration tools? What do IoT developers value more: great support from vendors, or stellar community support from peers? How can your program leverage Q&A sites like StackOverflow, a key information source for IoT developers? Live events are often one of the biggest budget-eaters in a developer program. But are they effective? Colleges and universities don t deliver enough developers, nor the breadth of skills needed in the market. How can your training program best be structured to help to fill that education gap? Which types of tools, APIs and platforms should go all-in on creating commercial opportunities for their developer base, and which shouldn t bother? 3
4 METHODOLOGY For this report we surveyed 3,150+ IoT developers from 140+ countries in our Q Developer Economics survey. The data from this survey, the largest research to date on IoT developers, give us a unique perspective at how the Internet of Things developer ecosystem is evolving. The online survey was translated in 7 languages (Chinese, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish) and promoted by more than 70 leading community and media partners within the app-development and IoT industry. We corrected for regional bias and segment distribution bias across our outreach channels. For more information about our methodology, please get in touch. 4

8 INTRODUCTION Software developers and the tools, APIs, and platforms that support them play a critical role in the nascent Internet of Things industry. Access to developers is becoming a competitive advantage in every IoT vertical, from the smart home to connected cars. The Best Practices for IoT Developer Programs report explores what IoT developers value most in a developer support program. This report on developer programs is part of our Developer Economics series - the leading research program on software developers and the app economy, tracking developer experiences across platforms, revenues, apps, languages, tools, APIs, segments and regions. In the first part of the report, we clarify what a developer program entails, and why providing excellent support for developers is so crucial in this era of digital revolution. We show how Internet of Things developers can be an important ingredient in your business model, but also how competition for their attention is fierce. In the second part, we look in detail at what Internet of Things developers need and expect from your program. We ll discuss the best practices in how to support your developer constituency by fiercely attacking friction points and by fostering community. We ll also discuss how developers prefer to get educated in your technology, what role money and commercial opportunities play, and how you can reach out to developers in an effective way. Our data from 3,150+ developers lays out a roadmap for the creation of a solid developer program, in tune with developer needs. In the following sections, you get a flavor of what to expect from our Best Practices for IoT Developer Programs report with just a few of the key insights. 8
9 THE RIGHT AUDIENCE FOR LIVE EVENTS If developers enjoy the sense of community, which they do, then reallife events are surely the ultimate, high-touch way to get together. In our experience with clients, events are often the focal points of developer programs - and a big budget-eater! It s worth to look closely at which developers attend the different types of events, and which don t. In general, events like conferences, seminars, workshops, Meetups, and hackathons are a mid-range source of information for developers. Between 10% and 30% of developers attend them, depending on the type of event and the developer segment. Workshops and conferences are the most popular, each a source of information for 22% of developers, followed by Meetups (18%) and hackathons (16%). In other words, you reach only about a fifth of the developer population with events. The expectations towards developer programs to organise events are even lower: only 8% of IoT developers considers events to be a key feature of the support program. 9
10 It is a good practice to tune the events you organise or support to your specific developer audience. For example, developers working on Data Mashups value the formal knowledge transfer offered by seminars, trainings, and workshops (+10 percentage points relative to other developers), and to a lesser extent conferences (+4 pp). In contrast, device makers value the opportunity for playful exploration offered by hackathons (+5 pp). Events have limited reach and are certainly not the activity with the highest ROI in a developer program. They should be considered carefully before including them in the program mix. This said, they can be a valuable addition when they are centered around PR and networking, i.e. community building, and optimized for the right audience. In the full report we explore further which segments of developers are most likely to appreciate events. 10
11 TRAINING: CRUCIAL FOR YOUNG AND OLD The number of devices for which software must be developed is increasing rapidly, and it s far outpacing the inflow of developers. Not only are many organisations that employ developers facing a shortage of skilled people; this lack of supply is going to get worse before it gets better. As new developers enter the fray it s important to get them up to speed as fast as possible. Preferably, they ll build skills in your technology, as opposed to the competition s. The bull case for investing in a training program is clear. Colleges and universities simply don t deliver enough developers, nor the breadth of skills needed in the market. Your program can fill that gap. This becomes especially precarious as we are entering the era of the Internet of Things. Our data shows that 41% of IoT developers have a university degree in computing or software engineering, significantly fewer than in more mature software markets like mobile (48%) or cloud development (49%). This implies that vocational training outside of the formal schooling system carries a bigger weight in IoT than it does in other areas. Different training methods appeal to different audiences. In addition to people s prefered learning style, both the location and the point in their careers in which they find themselves have a big influence on their attitude towards the training that a developer program might offer. 11
12 It should come as no surprise that young, inexperienced people have higher expectations towards developer programs when it comes to training. 30% in the age group expect training to be offered, compared to 23% in the age group. 40% of developers with <1 year of software experience would like to receive training; a number that drops to 18% for the most experienced developers. Youngsters are a majority in IoT. Three quarters of IoT developers (74%) are under 35 years old. Half (48%) have two years of experience or less in developing software. That s a lot of people who could use more training opportunities. A second interesting target group for training are older developers (in particular the over 55 group) who would like to refresh their skills. 32% of 55+ ers appreciate training being offered by vendors - as many as the group! 34% of them use workshops as a way to stay up to date, compared to 22% in other age groups. 12
