Hey,
I am from Zimbabwe. I would say that here for the desktop apps C++ and
Visual Basic seem to dominate. This is better explained by the fact
that Visual Basic is easy to learn while C++ is favored for its
cross-platform nature.
As for the Web, almost every hosting company (about 70% of them with
headquarters in South Africa) use php. In fact, this explains why I
had to learn PHP in the first place: if you do not know PHP, your
chances of hosting a dynamic page here is next to nil. However, one
private company (Ecoweb) recently started advertising that it is now
considering hosting Active Server Pages, but still in line with your
question, PHP still is dominant as the company also hosts it.
Thanks!
