Analysis of new coder data

10/23/2016

The data is available on Kaggle. 15000+ people who do online coding/tech courses were surveyed. Below is my analysis of the data. I used Pandas to import and analyse the data.

The average course participant is a male in his late twenties.
He works in IT as a software developer but feels under employed.
He has about two years of software development experience. 
If he has a university degree then his degree is probably in Computer Science. 
He wants to work in web development either full stack or front end.
He was probably born in North America, India or maybe Europe. 
He may have emigrated for his current job, the most likely places to emigrate to are the US, the UK, Canada, Australia and Germany. 
So (perhaps with the exception of Germany) he will need to speak English to a high level.
The most likely places to emigrate from are India and Eastern Europe.

age data summary stats:

count    13613.000000
mean        29.175421
std          9.017716
min         10.000000
25%         23.000000
50%         27.000000
75%         33.000000
max         86.000000

gender data summary stats:

male           10766
female          2840
genderqueer       66
agender           38
trans             36

current occupation summary stats:

software development and IT            4349    57.2%
education                                           610    8.0%
arts entertainment sports or media    416    5.5%
office and administrative support       414    5.4%
sales                                                  335    4.4%
food and beverage                            279    3.7%
finance                                              274    3.6%
health care                                        264    3.5%
(plus various other smaller groups)


According to data from IT jobs watch demand for web developers is declining. In addition the mean salary is about 17% lower than a .NET developer and about 32% lower than a Java developer (this data is for the UK only). In the US it may be a similar story, according to money.usnews.com, web developers have a lower salary and higher unemployment rate than other tech jobs (except for support specialists who can expect a lower salary).
