    Delphi revival? Are you sure? The UK job market stats are as follows:

    C# : still ramping up - here
    Java: Recovered well in the last year - here

    Delphi - flat as a pancake. Much smaller market, and has failed to recover when the others did, which means it is losing market share to them - here

    I regularly use this site as a guide to the state of the market in the UK:
    Jobstats

    It gives a rough guide to the number of jobs advertised on a few recruitment sites. It seems that we are out of the trough but there is still some way to go before we get back to the boom years of the late 90s

    Linux jobs

    Solaris jobs

    Unix job stats

    Bear in mind the scale is different so there are many more jobs listing Unix than Solaris or Linux. But the growth in jobs using Linux as a keyword is much stronger.

    For anyone interested in what the rates are like, for both permanent and freelance, in most parts of the UK, you can have a look at Jobstats, which slices and dices all the data it can find on the job web sites.

  14. Re:Paranoia is a good thing by BillsPetMonkey · · Score: 1 · on The Rise and Rise of IT Administrators

    I don't doubt that competent sysadmins exist, and if your sysadmins are competent enough, that's great. I'd like to make software at your company.

    Here in Europe, demand for developers is really at an all time low. Here's a quick graph to demonstrate that the market is very depressed for all IT skills.

    I fear your example is not the norm though. I know the senior sysadmin for a large internationally known sports venue who insists that open source is insecure. He's a great friend but I'm glad I don't have to work with him.

  16. UK Market.... by MrBandersnatch · · Score: 1 · on Tech Jobs Projected to Double by 2010
    Well in the UK a doubling in the number of IT jobs wont even take things back to late 90s levels (stats). I've been semi looking for work for 2 years and DESPERATELY for 4 months after my own business went nearly bankrupt ( current total clients : 0 ). Things are dire here apart from in government and niche verticle markets.

  17. Re:XML And Java.. by oops · · Score: 2 · on XML and Java, Developing Web Applications

    Java is absolutely huge. In the finance sector pretty much every single large institution uses it as a strategic language.
    Go to JobServe and see how many jobs are requesting Java. Go to JobStats and see how much demand there is for Java. Admittedly the demand is down from a year ago, but that's across the board. Note that these are UK sites, but I don't see a geographical dependency.
    Pretty much every IT consultant I know is concentrating on Java, and most of all in the J2EE and XML sectors. That's where the development work is here.
