Hi Mr. Clark,

Thanks for the idea. I did some more searches on Monster.com.sg:

"web java": 434
"web asp": 341
"web perl" 385
"web php" 331
"web python" 328
"web ruby" 326

This looks like it is "web or ..." as just "web" results in 325.

They would logically have to be a subset of this if you wanted 'and'.

So I don't think you can use these particular results
.

You would have to go back and search for "web and java" (their search engine handles 'and' keyword). e.g.

java   180
web   325
"web and java"    70
"web and asp"    18
"web and php"    8


This is very interesting...

Thanks!

Hi Wei Jie,

The best way to find this out I believe is by looking at the job market / job listings. This method is used often by analysts to gauge how prevalent a particular platform is in the market - it makes sense that the more prevalent technology has more job openings.

Here is an example of some searches on monster.com.sg:

java   180
.net    90
perl 76
c#   66
asp    35
php   15
ruby    4

Java at the top matches I have observed here in Singapore while doing recruiting and also when looking at what technologies are being used to develop enterprise web apps by the bigger developers (i.e. banks, telcos, MNCs). Although these stats are not web app specific, it gives you a relative idea.

Hi,

My polytechnic offers a module in its IT course which teaches server-side web programming in ASP.NET in VB. I am puzzled at the rationale behind this, because this  means that a ton of money will be spent on Visual Studio when Perl is perfectly fine for this purpose. I am under the impression that Perl is the most widely-used CGI language, but it is possible that my school uses ASP.NET because it's more widely-used in Singapore.

Is it true that the a majority of the industry in Singapore uses ASP.NET the most for web apps?

Thanks guys.
