The demand for PHP skills in the enterprise
I recently came across this print ad for a Toronto career conference put on by CareerDoor.com:
Near the bottom right there is a list of the "types of skills in demand". You'll find ASP.net and other Microsoft technologies listed, along with C/C++, Design Patterns, Flash, J2EE, Java, JavaScript, OOP, Oracle, Perl, and SQL. I can't help but notice the omission of PHP and MySQL.
There's been a lot of noise in the past year about PHP's ability to hold its own in the enterprise environment, but it would seem that the mainstream job market hasn't caught up to this. Is it just those in the PHP camp touting its ability to compete on the enterprise scale, or is it simply that this CareerDoor.com conference isn't hip to PHP's glory?
