RE: If publications are an excellent metric, then java has long surpassed C++ But of course that is a silly metric for everyone except Rod. Three years ago, Java was the hot buzzword for the tech press, everybody and their cousin claimed to be an expert, thus the flood of books. Java was going to save the world. Java is now Passe'. Where are all those Java rings, Java handhelds, screaming Java CheapBox 386's, JTAPI apps, etc.? The rage of today is Linux. Thus everybody and their cousin claims to be a Linux expert, and the bookstore shelves are going to pile high with Linux books. But unless Linux displaces Windows (a long shot at best) once again you have a useless metric. The funny thing is that Linux is Unix, and thus the Unix books of yore just need a new cover and a light edit. WHo knows, maybe K&R could stage a comeback.
