February 2013 employment trend of Web programming language

March 9th, 2013 No comments

Thanks West code posted
On February 18, Rob Diana issued after 2013 employment trends in traditional programming languages, 21st, he published another article on the 2013 “Web script programming language” employment trends, which include Ruby, Python, PHP, JavaScript, Groovy, and Erlang.

First or first look at long-term employment trends in Indeed jobs site:

(Horizontal is “Jan’06 ″ means” January 2006 “, and other similar)

Traditional programming language trends and more or less the same, this trend chart also lists the rise and fall of these languages in the past few years. JavaScript is a larger decline, but still well ahead of other languages. PHP, Python and Ruby to demonstrate similar trends in 2011, most of the time there is a “high land”, at the end of 2012, has fallen. Groovy is a smooth trend, remains on top of Erlang.

Again look at SimplyHired trends:

(March 1, 2012 – December 1, 2012)

Overall, SimplyHired shows the net flat trend at the end. JavaScript has slightly dropped last year, but demand is still high (relatively speaking). PHP and Ruby is the most significant change in the end very much fall whether they will resume in 2013? Python remained stable, ahead of PHP. Groovy and Erlang and nearly horizontal overlap, it is hard to see real change.

Finally see if Indeed the relative growth trends:

(Horizontal is “Jan’06 ″ means” January 2006 “, and other similar)

Groovy show out surprisingly of relative growth volume; Erlang in past two years in the has good of growth volume, but past several months some declined; to people impression most deep of is Ruby of continued growth, even overall needs in fell; Python still has stability of are growth; while PHP and JavaScript has had long-term of high needs, but its needs growth volume does not more, they currently has flat of trend.

After peaks this year, all trends declined. This and the traditional language trend. However, if you read the tech blogs, you will find this amazing flat trend. It seems almost everyone is in programmers, but didn’t succeed. I must admit that this article about Web programming languages and traditional programming language trends are quite disappointing. I was looking forward to a better trend but employment data do not reflect this. Over the next few months, I will look into other data point to see whether employment data faithfully reflect the realities of the situation.
