So here are the points that BW puts it to say Java is dying: 1. Evolution of LAMP. My View: LAMP has been there since a long time only the name was missing.
2. Number of books sold by a publisher. My View: When you have got tons and millions of resources online, you may tend to not buy books. The fall in book sales is no indicator of technology dying at the same time rise in sales of new technology is no indicator of its success, it could be that the new technoloy has not matured enough to provide the amount of resourses that are available with an already successful technology.
3. .NET picking up. My View: Existing Java developers will not run away to .NET
4. LAMP is more preferred for web development. My View: Think enterprise and claim the same :)
5. Number of developers. (Increasing for the new technology) My View: How many number of designers, architects and senior developers?
Can Java Die so soon? My View: NO
Why? 1. Its not just a programming language. 2. Wide industry support. 3. Learn once, Apply anywhere. (Desktop, Server, Mobile, Consumer devices.. anywhere). 4. Proven. 5 - 100 add all the points you know already from the time when you started learning Java. viz. security, portability, object orientation, stardards driven etc. etc. etc...
