June Headline: Visual Basic 2005 is gaining momentum

The tianyprogramming Community index gives an indication of the popularity of Programming ages. the index is updated once a month. the ratings are based on the world-wide availability of skilled engineers, courses and third party vendors. the popular search engines Google, MSN, and Yahoo! Are used to calculate the ratings. Observe that the TPC index is not aboutBestProgramming language or the language in whichMost lines of codeHave been written.

The index can be used to check whether your programming skills are still up to date or to make a strategic demo-about what programming language shocould be adopted when starting to build a new software system. the definition of the TPC index can be found here.
