The most sought-after development skills remain Java and .Net, and, within .Net, relatively new technologies such as SharePoint and Silverlight [Josh Comrie, managing director of recruitment firm Potentia]
According to Adam Roi, senior consultant at Robert Half;
The existing high demand for .Net developers will increase
The release of the .Net 3.5 framework in 2008-2009 was a huge success for Microsoft and was a catalyst for the growth in senior .Net developer roles
Two areas in which Java is used extensively are integration development and in development work in the financial services sector
