To my shock Kenya is no.1 for search term queries on 'vb programming' on Google Trends as of today (July-2-2009) http://www.google.com/trends?q=vb+programming&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 After organizing the 1st Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) C# training in Kenya over 5 years ago this is very distressing to me. It clearly did not catch on. Thought Kenya deserved a better programming reputation but it seems we have more work to do so ... India tops with most search queries for most programming languages (including the term 'VB.Net'). Interestingly, Pakistan tops 'c++ programming' beating even India. South Africa (RSA) is no.7 (Iran is 6th and Egypt is 9th) for 'c++ programming' queries. Could be their geeks write device drivers for (weaponry?) electronics manufactured in their nations. India tops queries for 'c programming' - RSA is no.8 on this one. Indonesia tops 'PHP'. India comes 2nd here. Czech Republic tops Python. USA tops Ruby. The most interesting thing about the query tem 'C#' is that small but Innovative Israel is no.2 as far as interest in (querying) 'C#' goes. China did not show (top 10) interest in the terms: 'Java', 'VB.Net', 'Php', 'Python' or Ruby. Could be something to do with their language(s) - alphabet. China did however show interest in C# and 'J2EE'. On Queries for 'C# Programming' Pakistan tops, India - 2nd, Iran - 3rd, RSA - 4th, Singapore - 5th, Egypt - 8th. _________________________ Wonder who in the world will take us more seriously because of our VB and PHP (JOOMLA) projects?
