PC Week: 10 Programming Languages You Should Learn Right Now
PC Mag is running a piece on the top 10 programming languages you should learn. Pretty interesting that PHP and C# rank as number 1 and 2 despite the fact they found 14,000 jobs available for Java developers.
1. PHP
2. C#
3. AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML)
4. JavaScript
5. Perl
6. C
7. Ruby and Ruby on Rails
8. Java
9. Python
10. VB.Net (Visual Basic .Net)
I prefer obscure programming methodologies like Hypercard and OS like Plan 9 in my spare time.

7. C, unknown, too broad a search term
8. Java 91,290

9.Python, 6,199

10. VB.net 12,215

Generally there seems to be a larger demand for close source programmers. And Java!
Or preference at Enomaly is python and php.
