As the tech world charges into 2025, O'Reilly Media's latest report on its learning platform usage offers a deep dive into the shifting sands of software development education. Among the most intriguing revelations is the decline in Java-focused learning, down 13% year-over-year, highlighting a broader narrative about programming languages in an age increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence (AI).

Mike Loukides, vice president of content strategy at O'Reilly and the report's author, frames this drop against a backdrop of evolving priorities. "While Java remains a foundational language for enterprise and mobile development, the industry's focus has shifted toward AI, machine learning, and tools that optimize productivity," he explains.
