Ada is up 34% to position 15, the only programming language in the list of top 25 skills to increase in demand. C++, Java, Visual Basic and C still occupy higher positions, but all fell by between 29% and 40%. -- Ian Clifton Phone: +44 1865 275631 Dyson Perrins Laboratory Fax: +44 1865 275674 Oxford University OX1 3QY UK ian.clifton@linacre.ox.ac.uk
