The most popular programming language software worldwide in 2022 was CSS, with a market share of 42 percent. Other noteworthy programming languages include ASP.NET, Lua and PHP. The source indicates that programming languages are formal coding languages that specify various sets of instructions that can be used to produce a wide variety of outputs.

As of 2024, JavaScript and HTML/CSS were the most commonly used programming languages among software developers around the world, with more than 62 percent of respondents stating that they used JavaScript and just around 53 percent using HTML/CSS. Python, SQL, and TypeScript rounded out the top five most widely used programming languages around the world. Programming languages At a very basic level, programming languages serve as sets of instructions that direct computers on how to behave and carry out tasks. Thanks to the increased prevalence of, and reliance on, computers and electronic devices in today’s society, these languages play a crucial role in the everyday lives of people around the world. An increasing number of people are interested in furthering their understanding of these tools through courses and bootcamps, while current developers are constantly seeking new languages and resources to learn to add to their skills. Furthermore, programming knowledge is becoming an important skill to possess within various industries throughout the business world. Job seekers with skills in Python, R, and SQL will find their knowledge to be among the most highly desirable data science skills and likely assist in their search for employment.

Node.js overtook React.js to become the most used web framework among software developers worldwide, as of 2024. According to the survey, 40.8 percent of respondents reported to be using Node.js, while around 39.5 percent were using React.js. Web framework A web framework, or what may sometimes be referred to as a web application framework is a software framework that supports the overall software development of web applications. Web frameworks are utilized to automate menial activities typically performed within web development. In other words, it simplifies the web development process and, therefore, makes it easier to build a website. JavaScript As aforementioned, before being overtaken by React.js, jQuery had been the most used web framework out of the millions of software developers throughout the world. Simply put, jQuery is a cross-platform JavaScript library, that simplifies the usage of JavaScript on websites. While jQuery may be losing popularity, JavaScript still remains one of the most popular programming languages used by software developers worldwide. Throughout the world, programming languages are associated with different salaries. JavaScript programmers are associated with a global salary of 65,580 U.S. dollars, while the salary associated with JavaScript programmers in the United States is significantly more, at 112,000 U.S. dollars.

Abstract

The 2006 Census of Tokelau was conducted on the 19th of October 2006, by both local representatives and Statistics New Zealand staff. Significant planning went into both the collection and output phases of the 2006 Census – with consultation on various aspects of the census (for example, questionnaire content consultation) carried out in Tokelau, Samoa and New Zealand, where appropriate. The 2006 Census questionnaire was based on a standard form developed by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), with some changes as appropriate to the Tokelau situation.

Tokelau has a unique population composition. A significant proportion of the Tokelauan population are away from the islands at any one time, for various reasons (e.g. healthcare, education). Considerable time and effort has been put into developing effective population measures for the 2006 Census of Tokelau, with a focus on ensuring all usual residents were counted – in particular those who were not present in Tokelau on census night. Core demographic information was completed by the head of the household, on behalf of people who usually live in Tokelau, but were away on census night.

Geographic coverage

National coverage: the census covers residents of Tokelau and also Tokelau public servants and their families who are employed in Apia, Samoa.

Analysis unit

Individuals and Households.

Universe

The Census covers residents of the non-selfgoverning New Zealand territory of Tokelau and includes Tokelau public servants and their families who are employed in Apia, Samoa. While visitors to Tokelau on Census night are also included, the ultimate aim of the Census is to provide an accurate assessment of the de jure population.

Research instrument

The questionnaire of the 2006 Tokelau Census consisted of three different forms: - Dwelling form: Dwelling characteristics; sources of water; means of cooking; rubbish disposal; hosuehold items; access to Sky TV, internet; numbers of pigs and chickens; sources of income. - Individual form: Individual characteristics; realationship to household head; living where; ethnicity; religion; birth mother and father still alive; language skills: speaking and writing; address 5 years ago; education and qualifications; marital status; paid and unpaid employment; children given birth to. - Absentee form: Individual characteristics; reason for / length of absence; income.

The 2006 Census questionnaire was based on a standard form developed by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), with some changes appropriate to the Tokelau situation. Some modifications were made in the 2006 Questionnaire, for instance: - In 2001, the questionnaire only asked for items owned and not necessarily partial or shared ownership as it did in 2006.

A thorough review of the employment and work sections of the questionnaire was undertaken to ensure the unique work force in Tokelau was represented, while at the same time ensuring international comparability. Questions on languages spoken, cigarette smoking and household income were added.

The English version of the questionnaire was reviewed using cognitive testing with four Wellington-based Tokelauan families. The near-final English version of the questionnaire was then tested in Tokelau in July 2006.

Consultation about the content of the census forms was also undertaken in Tokelau and Samoa, with Tokelau government representatives and decision-makers. This consultation was an opportunity to determine what information was required by various data users and how it could best be delivered. After the July visit to Tokelau, the questionnaire was finalised and translation into Tokelauan was carried out. A shorter version of the full individual questionnaire was used for Tokelau Public Service (TPS) working in Samoa, which consisted of only basic demographic questions about each member of the household. No dwelling questions were asked in Samoa.

The census questionnaire was a paperbased, interviewer-administered questionnaire available in two languages (English and Tokelauan).

Cleaning operations

The vast majority of editing was done on the dataset rather than on the raw data. Data evaluation identified cases that needed editing, the resolution was researched by the census manager, and any changes were recorded. This approach was taken to allow for a record to be kept of how many changes (consistency edits) have been undertaken, allowing the process to be defendable.

Census data processing was done using CSPro v 3.0 (Census and Survey Processing System). The Pacific Community (SPC) endorsed CSPro as the standard processing system for all population statistics in the Pacific. For the census of Tokelau, CSPro was used for key entry, editing, and verification of the census data.

Data appraisal

Given the small population size, no post-enumeration survey was done.

In some cases a respondent’s birth day or month was imputed. In these cases the date was randomly selected from one to thirty one and the birth month was randomly selected (from January to December). Any imputed dates were checked to ensure they were valid dates eg not 31 February. Overall the census management team felt that the editing, imputation and mandatory variables methods used were successful. They provided a good balance between quality and practicality for a small census.
