Software Development - Career Transformation Guide (2024 v1)

Dev colleagues, the new Software Development - Career Transformation Guide includes valuable information that enables you to accelerate your career growth and income potential - 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.

ZipRecruiter (2024) estimated average annual salaries for Software Developers in the US at $111,845. Based upon a recent GitHub survey the top five most popular programming languages are Python, Java, Go, JavaScript and C++. In addition to “language and toolset-specific” demand and corresponding salaries there is a widespread demand for “Full Stack” 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).

There are three critical success factors in our career transformation model. First, Get Certified. Professionals with best in-class skill sets combined with industry-leading certifications advance more rapidly than your peers and typically earn 3%-5% above their colleagues. Second, Get Published. Relevant, succinct and insightful articles on best practices in your technical domain or functional discipline enhance your credibility and integrity. And third, Get Connected. Developing and maintaining a robust professional network - locally and globally - bolsters your career persona and positions you as the “go to” subject matter expert in your field.
