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.
