Study: Java still top programming language
,----[ Quote ]
| Java has its detractors, but according to a recent reading of the Tiobe
| Programming Community Index, it's still the dominant programming language,
| with little change in its overall popularity since August 2007. Runners up?
| C, (Visual) Basic, C++, and PHP.

A bar chart at that link shows that books on "mobil phone" had the
smallest drop in sales.

What? No quote from the article? Couldn't think of a way to spin this
part?
The big success story among programming languages is Objective-C,
which has grown from a small (low unit sales) language into a large
(high units sales) language. iPhone and Mac development is fueling
this growth. After Objective C, PHP and Actionscript are the only
languages with more units sales in 2009 than in 2008.
So, of the three languages that grew, one is due to its use by Apple,
and one is due to its use by Adobe. That paragraph continues:
C# continues to be the largest language for unit sales, followed by
Java, PHP and Objective C. C# also experienced the largest decline
in units sold sold during the first half of 2009 and was followed on
its decline by Ruby, SQL and Javascript.
"C# continues to be the largest language for unit sales".

Indeed. And it also makes sense that despite being the largest share, it's
share dropped because there hasn't been any new C# books in about 2 years.
This will likely change when C# 4 hits the streets early next year.

Interesting comment from a moron:
It's sad to see a once great publisher fall so far. Books like Unix
System Administration and the Motif Programming guides were staples for a
long time. More recently the Dreamweaver CS3 Missing Manual book got me
up to speed with that program. When this site went political with strong
Obama support is when I re-examined my book purchasing habits. I guess
you can call it change you believe in.

So I won't find posts of you criticising Windows and Ballmer? Oops. You
just did whining about the monopoly.
You really plumb new depths with your sucking up to fellow
advocates. Grow a spine.

I'm not the one using kindergarten language and having a kindergartener's
comprehension of the world, "Hadron". Grow an up.

Hahahahaha!
That's a the joke of the century.
You?

You are the biggest phony in the group except for Schestowitz,
your master.

No, you;re the one following Schestowitz around like a lap dog.
Even a kindergarten child can think for herself up to a point.

How low can a diseased pool of vomit, like Hadron Quack, go?
