Cloud Computing Tops Fastest-Growing Tech Skills

According to "The Rising Demand for Tech Talent" report from Dice, Cloud computing is still in relative infancy but it tops the list in growth with openings up nearly two-fold over the last year. The importance of reducing hardware and operating costs is driving the need for those with virtualization experience, specifically VMware, helping this skill come in at #2 on the list.

Thanks to the boom in cloud-based applications, Java/J2EE, Oracle and C languages have topped the list of most common tech skills found in Dice job postings for quite some time. The demand for JavaScript has been up 86% year/year.
