An friend from grad school is doing research on software development
tools, and is looking for some people to be interviewed on how they
adopt new programming tools. Emerson's done some very cool work around
development tools, so consider volunteering an hour to participate.

Investigating Discovery and Adoption of Software Tools
You are invited to participate in a study on the discovery and
adoption of software tools. This study will help us determine when
and how programmers learn about new tools that assist them in
programming. We hope to use this knowledge to help design a tool
that helps programmers discover new tools. Your participation is
important because the results of the study will help advance
scientific knowledge.
We are looking for participants that program regularly in any
programming language.
This study is being conducted by Dr. Emerson Murphy-Hill ([email protected]
) and Dr. Gail Murphy ([email protected]).
Participating in this study will take approximately 60 minutes of
your time in the form of a phone or Skype chat interview, at your
convenience. We hope to ascertain your experiences and opinions
about adopting new programming tools. This interview will be
recorded (audio in the case of telephone, all chat messages in the
case of Skype) and written notes will be taken. We will anonymize
the collected data so that it does not contain any identifying
information. You will be identified by numbers or pseudonyms in any
written reports or publications. All data (on paper and electronic)
will otherwise be kept in locked rooms, locked filing cabinets, or
access-protected by password.
If you are interested in participating please visit

You are free to stop participating in the study at any time without
penalty.
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
