Skillotron service report, which unites programmers from 57 countries.
At the end of last summer, we launched the Skillotron gaming platform, a kind of free online service for self-testing the knowledge of IT specialists. Programmers themselves formulate questions for each other on different technologies and answer themselves.
Some of the statistics based on the results of passing Skillotron quizzes are publicly available, some we decided to present to the public for the first time here computer system engineering salary.
Since August, we have collected data from more than 7 thousand users and can show, for example, how the test results vary in different countries: which programming languages, to what extent and where are popular. Where players perform best, where people are most motivated, etc.
Based on these data, a wide variety of conclusions can be drawn. For example, where to look for programmers who may be needed in your project.
The cleverest
Of course, it was interesting to see where the players get the highest scores on the benchmarks. To do this, we measured the so-called "average score" based on the results of all passed quizzes by country.
As it turns out, you don't have to go to Silicon Valley to find the smartest developers in a country category. On average, engineers from Ukraine are better at solving IT problems than anywhere else. And if you look for programmers in America, then you should start from the South: Argentines are in second place in terms of results. However, if you are from Russia, then Belarus, the third country in terms of average score, may be closer.

Most multitasking
Often, knowledge of one language, even at a very good level, is not enough to solve complex problems. So we decided to find out where the most versatile programmers live. That is, people who pass testing for the greatest number of technologies.
According to game statistics, programmers from Armenia show interest in the largest number of programming languages, environments, methodologies, etc. They are followed by residents of Cambodia, Iran and Uzbekistan.

Most motivated
In addition to a solid knowledge of the subject and multitasking, the not-last quality for an IT-specialist is motivation in self-development. The graph below shows in which locations engineers are ready to spend the most time honing and testing professional knowledge.
