Most Popular Programming Languages State by State

When it comes to programming languages, most people probably can't name more than 2. Popular answers to this question typically include languages like C++ or JavaScript, but there is a whole host of other languages out there for people to use. And just because you've never heard of one doesn't mean that it isn't the most popular programming language on the other side of the country.

Silicon Valley may be the hotbed of new and exciting tech, but most programmers and developers are working hard in other industries, like big business. A recent programmer Q&A from the site Experts Exchange delved deep into its own data to determine what exactly the most popular programming languages are in the United States.

The survey took a look at who was asking questions about which programming languages, which was one of the factors in determining which states used which programming languages. In addition to that, users who were qualified "Experts" on the site seemed to favor PHP heavily.

If you look at the data and simply go off of the number of questions asked then it's clear to see that Microsoft's .NET programming language is seeing increased use. However, most people in the business are not surprised by these results.

PHP is a script language that is pretty much the standard with web developers, despite the fact that a lot of programmers don't seem to like all that much. Going along with that, .NET is a Microsoft standard that isn't exactly the most talked about but it is a good entrance for coders who are just getting started with learning to build apps around Microsoft platforms, platforms which are widely used in the business world.

What this data also does is show those in the Silicon Valley that the popularity of the newest programming languages is insignificant when compared to the driving force of existing options. Some of the more trendy languages, like Ruby on Rails and Swift, don't even appear on the list.

So what are the most popular programming languages in the country? Here's the list:

• ASP
• Cold Fusion
• C++
• C#
• Delphi
• Java
• JavaJ2EE
• JavaScript
• .NET
• PHP
• Powershell
• Python
• Shell
• SQL
• VisualBasic

Just to note, West Virginia and North Dakota didn't return any significant data....coders must not exist there.

Gnome Shell vs. Ubuntu Unity

Gnome Shell vs. Ubuntu Unity :

When it comes to choose the next generation desktop environment, there is sheer war among the computer users, whether to pick GNOME Shell or Ubuntu Unity? Both of these operating systems are looming on the horizon and there are huge expectations from desktop environments. In this article we are going to discuss more about GNOME Shell and Ubuntu Unity. For operating system support, you can consult a PC repair company. There are plenty of them available in the market.

Let’s start the discussion with GNOME Shell. Being the next generation of the GNOME Desktop Environment, GNOME Shell is a component of GNOME 3.0. It has been scheduled for release in April 2011. It replaces GNOME Panel and is integrated with Mutter which is a compositing window manager for X11.

On the other hand, Ubuntu Unity is a shell interface for the GNOME desktop environment. It has been developed by Canonical Ltd for the Ubuntu operating system and debuted in the netbook edition of Ubuntu 10.10. At first glance, Ubuntu Unity is going to be much more accessible to new users. This is because a new user might not be aware about the fact that to open up the launcher menu they need to hover their mouse in the upper left corner or click the Activities button. In Ubuntu Unity, the launchers are positioned right on the desktop.

You will find no run dialog in Ubuntu Unity. Most of the computer users used to use this dialog for launching applications for a very long time. Omission of this run dialog will definitely create a problem for them. On the contrary, on GNOME Shell you can have your run dialog!

Configuring the desktop is also very easy in the GNOME Shell. The users only need to right-click the desktop, the traditional way. But in order to configure Ubuntu Unity desktop, the user must click Applications, then System, and then Appearance. Even many will also find difficulties to find applications as they need to get to Systems from within Applications.

With both of these desktop environments you can’t change your window manager. Whether you prefer Emerald over the standard window manager, either GNOME Shell or Ubuntu Unity, none allows you to perform the task. The Linux desktop are widely popular due to its flexibility. But those who are planning to use either GNOME Shell or Ubuntu Unity you will not be able to enjoy this flexibility.

So, from the discussion, it is clear that both of these desktop environments have some good and bad. Now, it’s up to the users which one they will prefer.
