Over at the ACM portal, C++, Java, and C have held the top three course spots for years. (I continue to be surprised that C++ holds steady at #1.) What do you think this says, if anything, about what ACM members consider to be important languages, versus what is popular on Amazon?
@Kevin, another question is "What does this say, if anything, about the relevance of the ACM to the wider pool of developers?"
Indeed. And back to the spirit of the post...a notable showing for a little ol' programming language book.
