Despite
fears that programming expertise is a commodity that can be obtained cheaply
offshore,
programming
and application development continue to be among the most sought-after skills
in
enterprise
IT.
"Technology
touches everything today, and programmers and developers -- they're the ones
who
make
things go,"
Demand
for programmers and developers is springing up in new areas, too, thanks to the
rise of
mobile
and the emergence of the Internet of Things. Hayman points to the fact that
some cars now come off the assembly line with a million lines of code as just
one example of how programming's footprint is widening.

Web
development continues to crack the Computerworld Forecast list of the top 10
most in-demand IT skills because organizations have come to rely heavily on the
Web as a channel for connecting with customers, clients, partners and employees
since they built their first websites a decade or two ago, IT leaders say.
While
they don't need Web developers to establish a Web presence anymore, they do
need people with the ability to ensure that their sites are open and ready for
business.
"One
of the main categories where we're seeing double-digit growth is in Web
development,"
"Companies
want [to ensure] they have a website that's mobile friendly, that's easy to
navigate, and that showcases other products and services so it drives incremental
sales."
