In Tampa, there is a great demand for Java Enterprise Engineers / Developers. However, these are not heads down, put on your blinders and iPod and tune everyone out. These jobs requires interaction with people - what a cool concept! :-)

Yeah, try SQL - beats Java and .NET altogether. And according to http://www.simplyhired.com/a/jobtrends/trend/q-cobol%2C+ruby Ruby is not yet but may soon be as popular as Cobol. :-) So? Seriously, Ruby is gaining interest and popularity, and is very influential on programmers community, but it's very far from mainstream and it's gonna stay there in foreseeable future, no need to look at charts to realize that.
