What language should I learn?
- myko 13y agoThis is fun to play with, though it looks like it generally comes down to Obj-C vs Java.
- robinwarren 13y agoPHP is on top globally so must feature heavily somewhere. Glad you like it :)
- chrisdevereux 13y agoYeah, I'm based in the uk and everywhere I first looked at came up as PHP. Thought it was a hilarious troll at first.
- angersock 13y ago"Feature heavy" would indeed be a way of describing PHP.
- michaelpinto 13y agoI'm sort of surprised that Java is so popular, it gets so little press these days -- but I guess it's what people are really using.
- a3n 13y agoJava is the Cobol of today. If you want steady work, work for someone making steady money. That'd be the banks, and similar BigCos where technology is not what they sell.
- michaelpinto 13y agoI remember when Java was the "new kid on the block" which means I feel very old right now!
- matwood 13y agoOr said another way, Android versus iOS.
- tosseraccount 13y agoTo keep up in the current state of the software field, then Guajrati or Mandarin.
- glitchdout 13y agoI would go with just English, actually.
- michaelpinto 13y agoActually you would be surprised how few coders can actually speak "plain english". The one lesson I've learned over the years is that coders who can talk to non-coders tend to do very well in the real world over time.
- angersock 13y agoWow, in Houston, the answer is apparently SQL. Sometimes, I really, really hate this town.
- zalzane 13y agoEverything around me in a 15 mile radius wants me to learn java. Programming gods help us all.
- marmot1101 13y agoAs a Java programmer I see no problem with this.
- angersock 13y agoEh, Java is a pretty cool bro--he makes enterprise service architectures and doesn't afraid of anything. Would rather code in Ruby though.
- rwl 13y agoIt would be fun to see the data in the other direction: where should I move if I know...?
- Toshio 13y agoI searched for Silicon Valley, just for kicks. It said I should learn Java. What gives?
- gcb0 13y agoAndroid.
- krapp 13y agoMaybe the Java jobs are open because SV developers don't want to go near them? If that's the case then I bet there's a lot of PHP work over there too. (Austin listed Java as well... that sounds about right actually.)
- asm89 13y agoSan Francisco on the other hand: Objective-C 162 jobs requested Objective-C 122 jobs requested Ruby 120 jobs requested JavaScript
- peterhi 13y agoHow about ranking by how well they pay. There might be loads of PHP jobs out there but round these parts they have been advertised as "meets minimum national wage". McD pays better
- wheaties 13y agoNYC listed 1 job for C, 1 job for Ruby and 1 job for Python. Evidently people aren't tweeting jobs on Twitter in NYC?
- kabdib 13y agoCupertino, CA said "Java" That is very funny. Has someone done the reverse? "All I know is PL/1, FORTRAN and Java, where should I move to?" Or: "I'd rather not live next to any FORTH programmers. What neighborhoods should I avoid?" Or: "Are there any hot chicks / cute guys who know Ruby who live in a nice place?"
- amirmc 13y agoWhereas San Francisco said "Objective-C" Edit: I think I just got the joke. Mountain View also says "Objective-C" For those catching up, Cupertino is the location of Apple's HQ , whereas Mountain View is Google's HQ. Elsewhere in the comments people mention iOS vs Android.
- hackerboos 13y agoLondon, Brighton, Liverpool, Manchester - PHP
- apunic 13y agoNYC, Berlin: JS SF, PA, MV: Objective-C Paris, London, Barcelona, Moskow: PHP
- tomphoolery 13y agoyou got obj-c for PA? I got JavaScript for Philly...
- apunic 13y agoPalo Alto
- gridmaths 13y agojavascript. Then lisp if you get hooked and want to go deeper, then back to javascript
- k_kelly 13y agoEurope is just PHP as far as the eye can see. I think Berlin is the only major city that bucks the trend.
- marmot1101 13y agoFor a laugh, click the farthest right share icon.
- jere 13y agoOh, that is brilliant.
- lmm 13y agoWould be more useful weighted by salary. (Or maybe I'm just saying that to boost my favourite language).
- sspiff 13y agoI agree. My query returns PHP, but PHP developers earn significantly less than their C or Java equivalents, for instance.
- wcchandler 13y agoFinally found a spot with Ruby as #1 -- Boulder, CO.
- C1D 13y agoAny one in Sydney is gonna have a hard time: PHP, SQL and Java. Luckily Melbourne is JS.
- snomad 13y agoMaybe add a filter for industry? Sacramento, CA came back with Java, that is probably due to the high number of government jobs. If you exclude government, you probably would get C# / .NET.
- sspiff 13y ago> You should learn PHP I need to relocate.
- jere 13y agoThis is saying I should learn EmptyString, which is a pretty neat language since all programs are quines. Ah, the joys of living in the boonies...
- drakeandrews 13y agoApparently both Cambridge and "Canadia" are inside London, and their search is catching a fair amount of stuff that isn't a job advert from twitter.
