December Highlights

Tuesday, December 2, 2014

The big story this month is seeing AngularJS reach the top 5. To see it reach that in about 2 years is a stunning rise, even in in today's fast-moving tech industry.

In another interesting development, Passion, though not a tech term, is now ubiquitious, having reached the top 10. No passion? Don't bother applying with these copmanies I guess.

In other news, not surprisingly, JavaScript continued its streak of victories whith Python the runner up again.

Programming Languages

Compare JavaScript, Python, Ruby and Java
Compare C++, Scala, Clojure and Go

Server-side Frameworks

Compare Rails, node.js, PHP and Django

JavaScript Frameworks

Compare AngularJS, Backbone, Ember and jQuery

Along with the usual suspects, the JavaScript popularity trend also popped up with addtion of React, Facebook's JS library, and it showing some rapid growth

SQL Databases

Compare Postgresql, MySQL and SQL Server

MySQL jumped back on top after falling behind PostgreSQL last month.

NoSQL Databases

Compare Mongodb, Cassandra, Riak and CouchDB

DevOps Tools

Compare Chef, Puppet, Ansible and the DevOps term itself

Puppet continues to show little to no growth, as Ansible continues its assault on Chef, soon to overtake it if the trends hold up.
