2017 IT Skills Trends
I came across 2 IT Skills Survey/Trends for the year 2017. It offers very good insight on the state of Information Technology (IT) industry.
Stack Overflow did a survey with their respondents — devs, job seekers perspective. Latitude did trend reports from job post data — employers perspective. Both the website links are in the bottom of the page.
It would be interesting to combine these two datasets and see what we can interpret.
Majority of the devs in Stack Overflow have identified themselves as full-stack web developer. Full stack means you could code from front-end to back-end. So you are expected to know everything. So what is the popular everything? — Latitude trend reports
- Python/Javascript
- Rails/Spring
- React/Angular
- PostgresSQL/MySQL
- Git
- Jenkins
That suites for web developer. What if you are not a developer but an admin (Sysadmin, DBA type). What are the trends?
- Linux
- Ansible/Puppet
- Hadoop/Spark
- PostgresSQL/Mem-cache
- Kubernetes/Docker
- Nagios/Graphite
- NGINX/Tomcat
If you have these skills, then good. What will set you apart — how can you move your skill level from good to GREAT !. Because you need to stand out of the crowd.
