Hello Daryl,
I did check the web site and I see that Ruby is doing really well.
But I wonder, how does oDesk compute its trends? You also have to
consider that ColdFusion is well known in the United States but not as
much in other parts of the world. For instance, Ruby is well known in
Asia, U.S. and parts of Europe so trends for Ruby is logically higher to
those of other languages like ColdFusion. So I am curious as to how
oDesk.com is calculating its trends and what its taking into
consideration. If we take PHP into consideration, it is widely used
throughout the world so I assume that its trends are among the highest.
Just because outsourcing is stronger for other languages does not
mean that CF is not as strong. The market for CF in the U.S. is one of
the bests and it pays really well. I know people getting paid about
100k. There are also jobs throughout the country. If you consider
outsourcing, then you may want to use PHP.
Thanks for sharing this info though.
Just my $0.02,
Ravi.
