An interesting article caught my eye at jobstractor.com — the programming language trends review. The company analyzed more than 60,000 job vacancies during 2012 to produce a chart of the most sought-after technologies:
Language Jobs
PHP 12,664
Java 12,558
Objective C 8,925
SQL 5,165
Android(java) 4,981
Ruby 3,859
Javascript 3,742
c# 3,549
c++ 1,908
Actionscript 1,821
Python 1,649
C 1,087
Asp.net 818
Despite developer complaints, demand for PHP and Java (server/Android) remains strong. You would also expect those jobs to require some SQL knowledge although that has a strong showing in its own right. ActionScript is a dying art so it’s rapidly falling off the chart.
