Keeping up with the trends
There are different ways to choose technologies. Yesterday I came across an article that based its choices on which technologies appeared in job descriptions. indeed.com gathers listings from many job sites. In addition to search, it can show a technology’s trend over time by the number of listings that mention it. You can compare web frameworks, or EJB and Spring, for example, and watch demand for specific technologies change over time.

Of course you have to take the charts with a good pinch of salt. With a bit of keyword manipulation you can make a chart say exactly what you need. You know the saying: lies, damned lies, and statistics.
