CebIT Exhibit 2009

I was lucky I was able to register for free for the CebIT Exhibit 2009 last May 12 & 13, 2009. This event is done every year where exhibition and conference are being held with the full spectrum of business technologies. CebIT Exhibit 2009

I have visited a lot of booths, although I was not able to count how many there were, just imagine last year's count was more than 700 exhibitors. Thats the reason I was not able to complete the tour in one day.

From hardware to software development, you can surely get a solution to your IT problems.


Exhibitors were not just from Australia but also from other countries like India, US, Japan, China and even Philippines! Worth to mention because it is our kababayan, G2ix a company whose headquarter is in Pasig, Manila. Still wonder why it is considered on of the biggest IT exhibition in the world?


What was good with the exhibit is that you will be able to see the different IT innovations. High end powerful infrastructure both on hardware and software.

Most Popular Programming Language

I am a PHP programmer and the same with other programmers out there and students who are taking computer studies wonder what programming language is the most popular one.

According to the Tiobe Programming Community Index, Java is still the leading programming language being used followed by C. PHP falls to 4th place.
























The programming community index also shows that PHP is on the rise while Java and C is falling down. Does it mean there will come a time that PHP will be the number one? I guess so.

With a lot of businesses that need their own website these days, most "newcomer" programmers tend to use PHP because it is very easy to adopt and it is open source.

What is the use of this statistics? Well, for those who wants to know which programming language they want to pursue, this study is for you. Specially to the students who wants to be secured in finding a job after they graduate.

It is very frustrating to study a language only to find out after you have the skills nobody will hire you. Although it will take time to study, each one of us will just cross or fingers for the future to come.
