The drop in the number of jobs advertised over the summer has rebounded back up to around 14k jobs in November. I'd be very surprised if that continues through December and int January 2013. However it'll be interesting to see the full stats for next few months start matching up with when I really started getting the better results earlier this year.
Aside from that it looks like PHP will see the year out on top and neither PHP or Java look like giving up their top spot. Android skills have failed to challenge Objective-C skills for popularity during 2012 despite looking threatening a number of times.
| Language | Jobs |
|---|---|
| PHP | 835 |
| Java | 760 |
| Objective C | 639 |
| Java (Android) | 417 |
| SQL | 319 |
| JavaScript | 300 |
| Ruby | 298 |
| C# | 214 |
| C++ | 139 |
| Python | 138 |
| ActionScript | 102 |
| C | 59 |
| ASP.net | 51 |
