Thanks to Leah for forwarding a link to Tiobe - "The Coding Standards Company" and their page showing the relative popularity of languages when measured by the size of the community for each. It's interesting to see how the programing languages we teach fit in to the ranking table.

1. Java 20%
2. C 16%
(Visual Basic)
4. PHP 10%
5. C++ 10%
6. Perl 6%
7. Python 5%
(C #)
(Delphi)
10. Ruby 2.5%

We do not provide courses on the languages listed in brackets; we do also provide courses on Tcl which we know to be very niche indeed.
