From InfoWeek's John Soat's IT Confidential
"Is the sun slowly setting on Seattle? A new survey of application development trends shows the use of Visual Basic, Microsoft's original flagship development product, eroding. According to the latest version of Evans Data's North American Developer Survey, 46% of the 600 programmers queried use Visual Basic about 20% of the time. That's down from 62% last year who said they used it about 29% of the time. The number of Java programmers grew 5% from last year, and the time they spent programming with Java rose from 14% to 20%, the survey says." -- -- ----/ / _ Fred A.
