The index is updated once a month. The ratings are based on the number of skilled engineers world-wide, courses and third party vendors. Popular search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube and Baidu are used to calculate the ratings. Observe that the TIOBE index is not about the [i]best[/i] programming language or the language in which [i]most lines of code[/i] have been written.[/size][/font][/color][/align][align=left][color=rgb(102, 102, 102)][font=Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=12px]The index can be used to check whether your programming skills are still up to date or to make a strategic decision about what programming language should be adopted when starting to build a new software system.
