does it mean this
trend shows that most kenya developers are stuck on VB? This truly is
alarming.
To my shock Kenya is no.1 for search term queries on 'vb programming'
on Google Trends as of today (July-2-2009)

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?
