I'm a fresher in the software industry. I was trained in JAVA. But I was fascinated by PYTHON. It was a difficult decision to switch fro JAVA to PYTHON as JAVA has a huge demand. But I hope my stint with PYTHON turns out to be good. I’m completely new to PYTHON. I’m a fresher in the software industry. I was trained in JAVA. But I was fascinated by PYTHON.

The demand for Java in the UK has dropped from a high of about 36% to 25%. Not that this is rosy news for Java developers, but compare this to the Python chart -- it rose from 0.5% to 2%. What a joke. In other words, there is virtually NO demand for Python, while 1 in 4 programming jobs are Java jobs. I *like* python, but these charts don't help the cause. Java is absolutely DOMINANT. Jython will do more for Python adoption than anything else I can think of. Not to be a jerk, but those job demand charts are intellectually insulting.
