After making an entry into the top 50 skills in Q1 2010, Google App Engine, the cloud-based application development platform, showed the single largest increase in demand with over a 10x growth quarter over quarter. With this increase, Google App Engine (#37) moved past Amazon Web Services (#40) as the cloud platform highest in demand in Q2.
There is a great resource that you won't find on that page: appengine-jruby. It works with Sinatra or Rails, so you can write beautiful ruby code and upload it to Google where it will be compiled to byte-code and served. Check it out: http://code.google.com/p/appengine-jruby/

If you know GWT and AppEngine, and happen to be based in Adelaide, Australia (or can move) then I know someone who wants to talk to you. Email me.
