Programming languages come and go. Still is amazing that in this survey
from
http://www.devsource.com/article2/0,1895,2016936,00.asp
the C language comes second, right after Java.
Java
# What it is: An object-oriented programming language developed by James
Gosling and colleagues at Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s.
# Job availabilities: 14,408
C
# What it is: A standardized, general-purpose programming language, it's
one of the most pervasive languages and the basis for several others
(such as C++).
# Job availabilities: 6,164, including all derivatives
C#
# What it is: A general-purpose, compiled, object-oriented programming
language developed by Microsoft as part of its .NET initiative, it
evolved from C and C++
# Job availabilities: 5,111
Perl
# What it is: Perl is an open-source, cross-platform, server-side
interpretive programming language used extensively to process text
through CGI programs.
# Job availabilities: 4,810
JavaScript
# What it is: Not to be confused with Java, JavaScript is a an
object-oriented, scripting programming language that runs in the Web
browser on the client side. It's smaller than Java, with a simplified
set of commands, easier to code and doesn't have to be compiled.
# Job availabilities: 4,406
VB.Net (Visual Basic .Net)
# What it is: An object-oriented language implemented on Microsoft's
..Net framework.
# Job availabilities: 2,090
PHP
# What it is: An open-source, interpretive, server-side, cross-platform,
HTML scripting language, especially well-suited for Web development as
it can be embedded into HTML pages.
# Job availabilities: 1,152*
AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML)
# What it is: Though technically not a programming language, AJAX uses
XHTML or HTML, JavaScript and XML to create interactive Web applications.
# Job availabilities : 1,106
Ruby and Ruby on Rails
# What they are: Ruby is a dynamic, object-oriented, open-source
programming language; Ruby on Rails is an open-source Web application
framework written in Ruby that closely follows the MVC
(Model-View-Controller) architecture.
# Job availabilities : 210 and 54, respectively
Python
# What it is: An interpreted, dynamically object-oriented, open-source
programming language that utilizes automatic memory management.
# Job availabilities: 811
* All numbers on job availability were pulled from nationwide queries on
