And the number one Most-Requested Software Engineering Skills is...[Drum roll]...
Software Engineering.
followed closely by software development.
there must be some technical difference, but to the people answering the questions, most likely they are the same thing, and both are the same as the title.
At least they did not filter the results, that is exactly the kind of response I would have expected from the typical hiring manager :)
there are what, 7 distinct javascripts in there?

Software engineering and Software development don't count. Could be anything.
So C++ is in 6th place. Right behind C#. :)
I'm surprised Java is still in 1st place. Guess I'm just happy not to work with it.
java is in a self feeding loop. I believe it is still the #1 choice at most schools, and couple that with coding for phones where it is also popular, and you have an answer. Double down on that, its fairly easy to learn. The missing features, the users may never have known to realize they are missing.

Having recently gone through it, I would say this is fairly accurate. 80% of the postings I saw were 'full stack' cloud or database work, the rest split across the whole universe of everything else.

The article doesn't say anything about questions.
In order to narrow down those skills, we can turn to Burning Glass, which collects and analyzes millions of job postings from across the country
good point. change that to 'whoever filtered the data' then.

I thought C++ was in 2nd? Right after Java, for whatever reason, and right before Python, also for whatever reason.
