Summing up everything so far: l

Industrial sectors tend to pay very well.

l

Start-ups in the Entertainment sector pay very well.

l

Generally, SMEs are on a par with Enterprise companies for web workers.

l

The Entertainment industry pays well for people with less experience, and oers a good proportion of roles at this level.

Full-stack developers are incredibly valuable.

What technology are developers using the most?

Now we have a good breakdown of the various industries that make up the web development world, we can look at the next step, the technology. As a developer you need to not only know the skills that you are expected to use every day, but to have a good eye for the Next Big Thing, so you stand out from the rest of the crowd. Let’s start with current technologies. We asked all of our 6,000 web developer respondents ‘What are people using on a daily basis?’ Let’s split these results into three graphs: Frontend, Back-end, and Full-stack Developers to get a better overview of the key skills in each category.

Hot Topic Analysis To nish our survey we asked about the more interesting emerging trends in the ever-widening world of the web. The rst trend on the horizon was Angular 2.0. With it being so dierent to the Angular that developers know and love, would it be worth switching over? The results are quite interesting…

Do you agree with the assertion that JavaScript has won the battle against PHP for the server side scripting language of choice? It seems every few months PHP is declared dead and another language will rule the back-end scripting. Full-stack development has grown over the last year so we asked whether you thought the battle was well and truly over.
