Entry level programmers will continue to have things taught in university - seemingly more Java than anything. Changing the scope of your comment to mean "entry level programmers" and not just "entry level people:" the kind of person with very cursory HTML knowledge is different than the kind of person with a little knowledge of Ruby.
