im going to have to agree. I'm dyslexic and am working on my Ph.D in Computer Science. Also, everyone in my house is using Linux now too since I refused to support Windows any longer. There hasn't been a single problem since. Dyslexics Untie!

go to http://www.craigslist.org/ (select your city) I live in NY and find loads of part time gigs when I search the jobs for "part-time" or I search "gigs" Good Luck

I think TIOBE is flawed. For real statistics I use indeed.com. It's the mother of all job sites, and it also does trending. http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=%22C%2B%2B%22%2C+%22C%23%22%2Cjava%2C+Perl%2CPython&l= thats the view of the current job market. Perhaps C/C++ is slipping in some areas, but it will not go away. I work on Wall Street, and fast trading systems are written in either Java or C/C++. There will always be a need for speedy software. As for Perl/Python. Sure there are people using Python out there. I'm sure its a great language, but I haven't really found a reason to move off or Perl yet. Every systems engineer I know uses Perl. A while back some twit said that anything more then 100 lines of Perl becomes difficult to manage. This quote has gotten lots of publicity, but I don't agree with it. I've actually seen entire Quantitative Trading Systems written in Perl (thousands and thousands of lines of code) that were quite easy to maintain. The real issue with maintaining code is writing good code and commenting the code where it needs to be commented to begin with. Its really quite simple. As for not having a new release of Perl .. I fail to see why so many people make an issue of it. It works .. really well as a matter of fact. I could see getting my underwear in a bunch if it didn't work well; but it does.
