Reinier,
Yes you are right on that.
However it seems like the biggest programming skills are more
disciplines than specific language skills:
a) DevOps - development and operations of systems, includes system
administration, monitoring, continuous deployment of releases,
virtualization, cloud computing
b) Big Data and NoSQL - Hadoop/Cassandra along with map reduce to mine
data from large volumes
c) Business Intelligence - how to make sense of the data mined from
above
d) Mobile - IOS/Android application development with HTML5 for
non-native UIs
e) API development and usage - web service development and consumption,
with SOAP, REST etc, OAuth
f) Security
Bottom line for all these language and system independent

Hi,
According to oreilly, the 2 hot skills in high demand in 2011
appeared to be
Drupal and Hadoop.
Drupal is a CMS that is seeing its usage grow exponentially (also in
the
region), and hadoop is a distributed database that allows you to
build really
really big databases with huuuuge queries.
We had Greg Dingle on one of our LUG meetings talking about Hadoop.
Facebook
uses it to mine its data.

Hi All,
I was asked an intriguing question the other day and was hoping to
seek
your wisdom on the matter. Its common for new developers to ask
"What are
the most demanded for programming languages currently in the market"
and a
ton of websites and forums emerge saying Java, C#, Python, etc.
(with most
of the time a lot of flame throwing and table-bashing programmers
demanding
that their language of choice is the best and most in demand).
However, one
that is rarely asked is which niche programming skills are in
demand.
Typical example would be things like kernel development, device
driver
development, parallel programming, etc. However, I haven't come
across a
ranking or salary scale that presents a picture on such demand. The
thing
is that we know that such niche skills are prized mostly due to
their
complexity but they are rarely talked about and which industry have
desperate need for such skills.
So what I wanted to ask, have any of you come across such
information or
have an opinion on those hotly demanded for niche skills?
