After several years of stalled projects, budget cuts and pink slips,
the high-tech job market is showing signs of life.

''This isn't a maybe situation,'' says Tom Silver, a senior vice
president at Dice, Inc., an Urbandale, Iowa-based online recruiting
company for high-tech professionals. ''Things are definitely looking
up. Certainly, the environment for tech professionals, and the demand
for them, has improved.''

Other good areas include high-level programmers with experience in C++
and Java, and tech workers with data base management skills.

''I think the overall demands for e-commerce and softer skills is
still a bit off,'' says Silver. ''If you know Java or C++, that's
fine. But if you're a technical writer or a designer, those jobs
aren't coming back as quickly. It's not a bad place to be but it's not
coming back as well.''

The only reason C# "appears" to be in higher demand is because stupid IT
managers that know nothing of programming or systems design (which is most
IT managers out there) think its much more sophistcated because it has the
letter C in it and is based of C++ roots. It's like the people that still
believe most software is written in C++. I've seen more and more software
coming out written in VB6 and .NET than ever before.

I rarely see the infamous "Copying MFCXX.DLL" on my installers anymore...

Why? Because as us VB progrmammers have been saying all these years.. What
takes C coders a month to push out.. we do in a couple of hours...

Device Drivers? Systems Programs for C++. sure I can agree with that.
Desktop applications? C++ isnt' really great for that... I've programmed em
all. C/C++, Java.. and then switched to VB because I was tired of wasting
time worrying about memory.
 
Actually, SQL is first, then Java, followed by C++
The graph colors for SQL and C# are the same, but the actual figures are
shown below the graph.
C# came in near the bottom.
 
Perhaps you should get your eyes checked. That's SQL you're looking at
the top, followed by Java. C-sharp is hidden underneath with all the
laggards.

For June 1, 2004:
Java - 6851
C++:4563
VB: 3120
C-sharp: 1458

PHP can be used as an interpretive "fat client" language.
In that respect it behaves a bit like traditional Basics.

The name of the actual program, logically enough, is 'php'.
 
The chart seems really ridiculous. Most of the Windows programmers I
talk too are VB.
