A few weeks ago, we released a survey to learn more about your thoughts on The State Of The Web. Today, **we're sharing all of the data** we collected with the community. Why? Because this sort of thing is more fun with more participation and analysis.

We'll also be returning to the Google Chrome Developers studio this week to share some of our findings. If you're interested in digging through the data, we'd love to include any of your interesting/fun insights in the episode! 


Here is an **[Excel file](https://s3.amazonaws.com/thepracticaldev/State+Of+The+Web+Survey+Results.xlsx) or [CSV](https://s3.amazonaws.com/thepracticaldev/State+Of+The+Web+Survey+Results.csv)** of the raw data, and below are the survey questions for your reference.
