Interesting chart showing book sales related to various programming language groups over a 3 year period. This is only for one publisher, so it's biased by the quality / availability of material within a given subject area. Nonetheless, the data is quite interesting. Surprises:
- VB books outsold C# through 2005 (where are the VB developers hiding?!).
- Python sales are stagnant (would expect that it would be following a Ruby-like curve).
- Perl has withstood the attack of Ruby and Python.
- Java's Tiger release (generics), during an upward trend, did very little to maintain the trend, and C/C++ sales grew during the downturn. Huh?
