.NET programmers in demand
Source: I Programmer
Are you a newbie programmer looking for a job? It seems your best bet is to opt for .NET.
According to technical jobs website, Dice.com, companies in the US have posted more than 10,000 positions requesting .NET experience - a 25 percent increase compared to last year’s .NET job count.
Alice Hill, managing director at Dice.com, describes Microsoft .NET as, “the technology developers love to hate” explaining their antipathy to it on two grounds.
Firstly developers fear that if they specialize in .NET application development they will not be able to easily branch out to other platforms. Secondly, she refers to a “money gap” pointing to the fact that professionals who regularly develop for .NET earn about $83,000 a year, as compared to more than $91,000 for those specializing in Java.In this respect she anticipates a change based on simple economics: if demand continues to outstrip supply, wages will adjust.
