Hi Shamil: That is why I placed that little "note" after the graph. As a Github site, C# and many other desktop application will not be in the major listings. This little graph does not represent the general market but is more focused on the "start-up" and website type market. My only connection with C# is through ASP.Net and then through my IIS web server. As most web servers are not ASP compatible this makes it difficult. (I think Microsoft should get their act together...it only took a two month project (3 weeks for the beta) to get PHP going as a IIS webserver service.) There have been some efforts to get MONO running on such webservers as Apache and Nginx but so far nothing solid. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/9738/Introduction-to-Mono-ASP-NET-with-X SP-and-Apache Mono does have its own little webserver, though fun to play with, it is not commercially viable. As soon as Mono-C# can become available, as a supported API, on the major webservers, C# will no longer be just a desktop development application. I am looking forward to that day.

I see C# is missing from the stats but I do not care that much - C# + SQL + JavaScript(+CSS + HTML5) should be good enough I suppose to cover all my current and prospect customers projects. And there are a lot of advanced open source C# projects on CodePlex - so many that I will probably never have time to investigate even 1% of them. And CodeProject web side has many advanced articles on using C#. I can also do C/C++ programming if that will be needed. And I have 10+ years full time past experience with macro-assemblers - that can be "revived" in the case of long term projects. I do like Python and Ruby "dynamic beasts" - I do not have experience with them but C#5.0 has many features of the modern dynamic languages so I doubt I will ever need to use Python and Ruby in real life projects, but who knows... <<< The Pro JavaScript + jQuery Design Patterns section looks very interesting. >>> Yes, just make sure your real life programming gets Software Design Patterns applied when they are really needed. Thank you. -- Shamil
