In the mobile graph, I wonder why ios and iphone are separate lines.

I think iOS shows something slightly different about the employer's motivation, since they're deliberately including iPad by saying iOS vs narrowly referring to iPhone. Do you think charting them separately and also together would be better? Or just consolidate them and lose the subtle difference?

I think they should just be clumped together. There's no distinction between Android phones and tablets, so there shouldn't be for ios. Also, the development skills for the the two are largely the same.

Here are larger graphs if you want to dive deeper.

Languages: http://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?snapid=S218608...

Frameworks: http://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?snapid=S218611...

Data: http://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?snapid=S218609...

Mobile: http://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?snapid=S218612...

Additionally, a few people have noted some terms that I need to merge. I'll try to update the graphs within a few hours.

More easily read graphs (slightly ordered the categories in terms of popularity and removed small results)

Would be great to see the language/framework also expressed as percentages of total posts over a period. Clearly there's a growth trend in job postings, would be nice to see the relative change in demand for each language/framework.

Sort of, but if you are looking for a job and you are an expert at building web apps using C and MS SQL, then you don't care that it's an odd combination. You only care whether the number of openings is zero or non-zero.

Not surprising at all to see the spike in demand for Rails developers. In my local ruby users group we've seen a dramatic increase in the number of job postings for Ruby/Rails devs.

I'm also not surprised that Javascript is the most sought after language, too. Everything uses it, regardless of the framework.

What happened in March that made companies get spendy?

I imagine it's because we started getting the who's hiring posted on the first of the month on a regular basis and because of that it got more upvotes so stayed on the front page longer and got more posts.
