And The Least Productive Web Framework Is…
Comments(7) This is in response to Michael Urban's posting, "And The Fastest Growing Web Framework Is..." (which is also kind of a commentary/response to a Rick Hightower blog posting) which awards the honors to JSF based on job posting trends from February 3, 2005 to June 27, 2007.
I won't argue that the job trends chart clearly shows that JSF has had a significant number more job postings for the last two and a half years. You might argue the means the data was gathered but that's already been done extensively in the article's comments.
I will offer an alternative (I'll admit a bit ridiculous) interpretation that states the reason there are so many more JSF job postings is because JSF is the least productive web framework listed; requiring more developers to complete a project. I know it's another poor conclusion drawn from the chart, but I would venture to say that the average JSF project's development team is larger than other development teams using the other listed web frameworks.
