2 questions for everyone: # users & top 5 magazines

Hello all,

I'm asking everyone I know and many I don't the following questions. I've sent emails to Microsoft and others, but you might have answers, too, since some of these are subjective. I'm writing a research report about VB/.NET/IIS/Active Server, so any answers (subjective opinions fine) would be greatly appreciated.

1. Rough number of Visual Basic Developers (10000? 100000? more?)

2. Rough number of IIS/ Active Server Pages programmers

3. Rough number of programmers trying .NET

4. Top 5 magazines that cater to Microsoft, Web Services ,and .NET

Thanks for any answers you can send for any of the questions above. If you want to email off list to keep thread short, email me at [email protected].

(not a programmer, btw)

1. Rough number of developers in the world: 6 million, of which about 3.2 million are VB developers.
