Some IT skills, while clearly not dead yet, are certainly being put out to
pasture. For example, the once-hot fourth-generation programming language PowerBuilder
is now largely forgotten by many employers. Foote Partners CEO David Foote says
PowerBuilder is one of several programming languages in long-term decline,
including Hewlett-Packard's variant on the Unix language, HP-UX, <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Perl</span>, and C.
IT workers skilled in these declining languages have seen their pay levels drop
by 11 percent or more in the past 12 months, according to Foote Partners'
latest survey. Foote says C is not going to go away because it is widely used
in embedded devices, but there is no need for businesses to have someone write
applications in C. Even some newer IT skills are already finding themselves
less and less in demand. For example, Wireless Markup Language (WML), which
became popular about eight years ago as a way of creating mobile Internet sites
that could be viewed by early mobile browsers, is already in decline. Over the
last 12 months, as mobile devices continue to become more powerful, the market
value of WML skills has dropped 12.5 percent. Another popular skill that is fading
away is Novell Netware, which has since been overwhelmed by the rapid rise of
Microsoft Windows, which comes with built-in networking. Foote says that demand
for Microsoft and open source skills are on long-term upward trends, and notes
that year-on-year comparisons can be influenced by short-term supply trends.</span></p>
