If you're part of the "cool kid" developer crowd, you're undoubtedly writing your new application with Ruby on Rails, and spend a lot of time talking about Git, Squeak, or Memcached.
But if you want a job, apparently you should get back to ancient technologies like Java and .Net, according to new data from IT employment company Dice.com, cited in Baseline magazine. In addition to those programming heavyweights, other enterprise bellwethers like Oracle, SharePoint, and SAP also make the cut.....
Apparently, new-age Web technologies will get you a date, but old-school technologies are the best bet if you want a job.On Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 2:47 PM, Ogure Obunga <write2ogush@gmail.com> wrote:

i'm insisting on the platform because previous attempts on the project using PHP has borne no fruit, though this has more to do with the design on which the system was developed. The initial developer did not put much into consideration when building up the system such that scalability is highly constrained. in which case i prefer starting all over than trying to fix bugs that never end.
To make your life easier, I'd suggest you try a "modern" web application framework such as Grails: <http://grails.org/>. And if you don't mind trying a modern programming language as well, I'd suggest the Python-based Django: <http://www.djangoproject.com/> :)
