[Laszlo-user] Laszlo Adoption

[Rich Christiansen]

Thanks Khurram,

I modified your search terms a bit to get a better feel - adding 
"laszlo" as well yields a more pleasant picture for OpenLaszlo.  I don't 
think the "openlaszlo" and "laszlo" graphs can be added to each other 
since one job posting could use both "OpenLaszlo" and "Laszlo" as terms.

Check it out:

Also, on a relative scale:
http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=%22adobe+flex%22%2C+silverlight%2C+javafx%2C+openlaszlo%2C+laszlo&relative=1

And finally, note what happens when "ajax" is included:
http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=%22adobe+flex%22%2C+silverlight%2C+javafx%2C+openlaszlo%2C+laszlo%2C+ajax&l=

True, ajax is used for more than just RIA, and has become somewhat of a 
meaningless buzzword anyway, but still...Wow!
