Hi Mr. Clark,
You are right, the search field uses a boolean or by default. Thanks
for the heads up.
"web and asp" 18
"web and perl" 15
Even if ASP is the most popular here, I doubt that my polytechnic is
being very thrifty by purchasing of Visual Studio licenses for hundreds
of students at their partial (or full) expense.
I agree. It is possible to develop asp.net with the free version of
Visual Studio Express that is intended for students and hobbyists.
Buying licenses seems silly when there is a free edition.
In any case Java appears to be more popular (at least for the people
recruiting on monster.com.sg).
Also with Java you are not limited to just JSP (whereas most MS stuff I
see tends to be very ASP-centric). Even from just the Apache Software
Foundation there is a wide selection of mature open source Java web
frameworks such as Struts, Cocoon, Velocity, MyFaces, Tapestry and
Wicket to name a few. Not to mention Groovy on Grails that Stephan
keeps telling me about - apparently it is really groovy :) In fact I
believe it is even possible to run Ruby on Rails with jruby inside a
Java VM allowing that environment to benefit from the mature set of
libraries for Java.
BTW - Perl CGI programming is a very outdated methodology. If you want
to consider perl web programming consider something like Apache ASP:
http://www.apache-asp.org/ (which uses mod_perl - many times more
efficient than CGI).

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.
