    That graph actually seems to say that the trend is for C# to increase, PHP to level off, and C and C++ to continue to decline.

        Seen this link in another forum, figured I'd share...not sure how accurate it is though... http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html[^] Seems C# would have been a poor choice as it seems to be falling in popularity. :P Thankfully C/C++ and PHP are relatively high. :)

          I did read it totally backwards... I didn't look at any charts just that table...and the little red arrow pointing down told me it declined...how it declined I didn't bother reading cause I simply wasn't interested. :P Thank you for bringing this to light though, so at least I don't make a fool of myself on any other forums today. :P

              Seems like someone posted this crap about a month or two ago. Debates have gone on about it's accuracy and I really don't buy anything that site says. :|

                          Wow...that was embarrassing. Maybe you should review math and percentages. If their current share is 0.436% and it rose 0.44% their previous market share was about 0.434% (prev. share x 1.0044 = 0.436)

                            Hmm. Interesting. Though where I live I see very few job postings on C++ and almost none on C. I see quite a lot on C# and Java though.

                              The rise and fall indicators seem to only relate to the previous month as the survey is done monthly. If you look at the long term trend either on the graph below or by clicking on the links for each language, you'll see that c and c++ are falling whereas c# is rising

                                Hmmmm - don't think so. Remember that the Tiobe index is measured in %, so a delta signified in % could either be a % change in the popularity value or an absolute change in that popularity value. So, let's look at the historical trends[^] - specifically Python, as it has a relatively big change - +2% over the last 12 months. It's currently @ 5% share, it was at roughly 3% share last July. If the delta was 2% of the current 5% then Python would have been at 4.9%.

                                        It's a rounding artifact. I read it as the delta = absolute change. July 07 it wasn't on the charts (0%) and now it is at 0.436%, rounded to 0.44% in that column.

                                          Which basically doesn't count the majority of microsoft programmers as they have the msdn disks and don't heve to go grubbing around the internet to find stuff.

                                          True, but for all the abstruse stuff you have to go to the Web anyway, that's the only place for FRESH information (more than once I've used out-of-date info from the disks, so I often go straight to MSDN online).
