I was observing this industry very closely in past few months and it looks like this year is going to be great for web developers. With many frameworks are catching up and many new technologies emerging, this year will definitely set a mark. Internet of things, Bots, Motion UI, Browser based IDEs and Docker… these five things seems like catching everyone’s attention.

Internet Of things

This is the era of smart things and providing them internet connectivity is becoming a trend. Be it electronics, wearable, vehicles, building etc. many things now tend to have internet connectivity. And to support that connectivity, a strong IT infrastructure is required. This is something like a boom for web development industry. In a recent survey conducted by Technavio, IoT will grow by 31.72% (CAGR) between 2015 and 2019.

A strong prediction comes from Gartner, which says that in half of the development in IoT will come from start up companies which are less than 3 years old. This has brought and will keep bringing a new angle to the whole programming industry. It will be interesting to see how things will evolve and to what extent we can exploit the power of internet.

In another case of data theft, hackers targeted Starbucks mobile users to extract money out of their Starbucks mobile app. Well, starbucks was storing their customers’ data in plain text, which includes their email addresses, passwords and names.

Dropbox is one such victim of security breach. These are the names of some biggies in the software applications world. These companies invest a good amount of money in establishing their product, brand name and security.
