Yet another study says: Java is most in demand (Re: C-sharp demand on par with Assembler)

hehehe...of course, the good old days are far from here, now that the
dotcom bubble has thoroughly burst. This study from australia
complements other studies in USA and Europe that show Java again
leading the way in robust job growth.

i guess the days when you could call c-sharp a "java-killer" with a
straight face are long gone, eh? bwahahahabwahahaha!!!!!

--------------------------------------

Experts in Java, Unix or Oracle should have no trouble finding work,
according to the results of a skills survey.

IT&T recruiter Ambit's six-monthly series measures skills required for
roles advertised on Jobnet, the Australian IT&T career site.

According to the series, people with Java experience are in top
demand, with 8.5 percent of all Jobnet advertisers requiring these
skills. Visual Basic experts came second with 6.1 percent of jobs
advertised needing their expertise. C++ professionals are third most
sought after with 4.8 percent of IT&T employers wanting them.

Peter Butterss, Ambit Group's executive director, said although the
demand for Java skills had dropped since peaking in February 2001 with
a 15.6 percent demand, it still remains high.

"The key reason for this stems from Java continuing to be the
preferred development platform because of its scalability and its
ability to operate with other platforms within the client and server
space," Butterss said.

"As a result it is widely used in the banking and telecommunications
sectors and is the most commonly used development platform for
customer marketing- particularly where online browsing or problem
management is concerned."

Butterss advises that Java language programmers update their Java
skills in both the client and server areas.

"From an interface perspective, Swing is worthwhile investigating and
on the server side, Servlets APIs are good," he said.

Java will never be supreme IMHO. Who wants a switch stament which only does
ordinals for example. Give me select case anyday !

Java's good if you wear open toed sandals and like to caress your Spark
workstation ( or whatever ) on a worknight when everyone has gone home.

Bwhhhhaahhhhhwaahhhahhhha !!!!

Advertised on Jobnet..

It's an interesting figure sure, however let me tell you somethign about jobnet..
Jobnet is run buy a recruitment agency. Recruitment agencies generally don't post job advertesments untill they have checked their own databases for suitable candidates.

So the real question is: Is java in high demand, or are there just not alot of java developers registered with the agency running jobnet??

Just something to think about...

Cheers
