January Headline: PHP Awarded Programming Language of 2004
Tiobe announced in the headline of the programming language list in January 2005: PHP gets the 2004 optimal programming language title
The Tiobe programming language list measures the popularity of various programming languages. The list is released once a month, and statistics include global software engineers, training courses, and third-party suppliers, data from Google, MSN, and Yahoo!.
Tiobe claims that the list is not to select the best programming language or the statistics to complete the program's largest language, but it can help you understand whether the programming language you have mastered is to follow the development of the times and develop new software systems. References are required when making a strategic choice for programming languages.
