I was just exploring Google Trends and I have found a very interesting search pattern for .NET, ASP.NET, C#, VB.NET.

Google Trends: .net, asp.net, C#, vb.net

Google Trends

As you can see the relative comparison of search result with regards to region, India is moving a way ahead of other countries. :)

One more interesting conclusions one can make from this graph; C# is more popular language than VB.NET.

One of my friends argues that this basically represents those who actually have knowledge of this technology and those who don’t, because this represents those who don’t need Google very frequently and who need it.

I am not sure if I am agree with that but this is sometime like saying that a person who leaves fewer bugs in code is contributing more to the project than a person who leaves more.

My take on this; a person who is searching more in Google is one who actually doing development. If you look at your peers in your organization and segregate them on who uses Google more and who less, you will get the answer.

I don’t want to rain on your parade, but if you put add
“VB” to the search, you will find that it out ranks them all. When I do searches, I often use VB to get VB.Net results. (Because some people just refer to it as VB instead of VB.Net.

Have a great day!

Robert,
Well, as also a VB.NET developer, if I need to search something relating to VB.NET, I always prefer to use term VB.NET in search box and NOT VB. Using VB in search term didn’t guarantee that search result will only specific to VB.NET. With regards to this, I was presuming that most of the VB.NET developers use VB.NET in their search term.

If you put VB in search text in Google, you will notice majority of search result are either relating to classic VB, VB Script or ASP.

Thanks

I must agree. India is definitely moving ahead of all USA in terms of technology and outsourcing things. Well, not really technology but just in educating into it, persay, India has more tech savy computer users to say the least.
