Closing the Developer Skills & Resource Gap - Is Low-Code Application Development the Solution?

CIOs, the “What is an Enterprise Low-Code Application Platforms (LCAP)?” report from Gartner Peer Insights (2022) states that “LCAP typically creates metadata and interprets that metadata at runtime and abstracts the underlying server infrastructure for ease of use; many also allow optional procedural programming extensions. LCAP supports: UI capabilities via responsive web and mobile apps, Orchestration or choreography of pages, business process, and decisions or business rules, Built-in database, and ‘One button’ deployment of applications”.  Our conclusion: LCAP is a valuable tool for CIOs, yet is far from a panacea for closing the Dev skills and resource gap.

Nevertheless, the new Software Development - Career Transformation Guide (2022 v2) includes valuable information that enables CIOs to accelerate the skills vs. availability dilemma. It includes details on Career opportunities, Salaries (demand and growth), Certifications and Training programs, Publications and Portals along with Professional Forums and Communities. The guide covers C, Containers, Git and GitHub, Java, Mobile (iOS & Android), SQL and Web Development (front-end). There are separate guides for: 1) Python, R, TensorFlow and PyTorch and 2) Linux and Open Source. Glassdoor reports the average Software Developer salary across the US at $97,763. According to ZipRecruiter there are currently 779,726 Software Developer positions open in the US alone. In addition to “language and toolset-specific” demand and corresponding salaries there is a widespread demand for “Fullstack” Developers (front-end/back-end) in the Web Development, Artificial Intelligence-Machine Learning and Blockchain-Ethereum arenas. This guide focuses on C, Containers (Docker & Kubernetes), Java, GitHub, SQL and front-end Full Stack (including JavaScript, Angular, React, Node.js, HTML, XML) and Mobile (iOS & Android).
