PHP and Perl crashing the enterprise party
PHP claims the highest instance of open source use within enterprises.
The enterprise has long favored Java and .Net, but PHP and other dynamic programming languages have left their infancies and are rapidly closing the gap on their more stodgy competitors.
While dynamic programming languages like PHP and Python dominate Web engineering, the signs that they are breaking Java and .Net's hold on the enterprise are less clear. Forrester recently reported that PHP claims the highest instance of open source use within enterprises, at 57 percent penetration. But it's also the case that the bulk of enterprise software spending goes to Java and .Net-based software.
As Indeed.com's analysis of hiring trends suggests, there are still plenty of jobs in established programming languages like Java and .Net, but there's a boom in PHP and Python jobs, in particular.
While Java isn't going away, there are several trends converging on
increased adoption of dynamic programming languages like PHP among
enterprise developers.
