Happy 11th Birthday to
Developer works. I have been following and making use of this unique technical resource since it was started in September 1999. Then, I was a Java consultant for Analysts International in Minneapolis MN working to enable legacy applications for web using latest technologies available back then. Developer works has evolved and improved 100 times since then and remained my favorite place for finding hands-on articles on any software and system development topics. Recently DW added
Cloud Computing and
Industries as new categories on their website. Today DW is not just a repository of technical contents but also serves as a portal that guides and mentors a new comer to this field with vast and rich resources and also sets trends in software industries with surveys and results with help of the huge community build around it. Recently DW published a result of 2000 IT professional surveyed online which shows the growing influence of Cloud computing and Mobile application development in the IT industry in coming years.
Based on this survey results published by Michael O'Connell, the founding Editor-in-chief and editorial director of IBM's developerWorks:
- Cloud Computing will overtake the existing way organizations use to acquire IT
In response to the first question "How do you rate the potential for cloud computing to overtake on-premise computing as the primary way organizations acquire IT by 2015" , about 90% respondents agree that its likely to take over, including 35% who strongly believe it will happen.
How do I know more about what cloud computing means for developers?
- Mobile apps development to dominate
Majority of survey respondents said that there will be more IT applications developed on mobile devices (iPhone, Android, iPad and more Android based smaller platforms) than those developed on traditional IT platforms in next five years. I do not strongly agree with this one because, I think mobile devices will take time to mature and majority of apps development will still happen on traditional operating platform. At the same time, I believe organizations will try to shape up strategies for mobile platform and keep investing in this area.
Whatever happens, as a software professionals, we will have to acquire emerging skills in both of these areas and keep ourselves ready for the brand new challenges and opportunities. I am sure DW will be there celebrating 15th and 20th birthdays and may be more !
That was interesting to know about.Quite helpful info u have shared.Thank you !
