I had the opportunity, three times this week, to talk to some industry pro's out in the field and it got me thinking.
Which web technologies are "IT" right now?
One interesting thing I've heard is about specialization. 'Be Broad in your base, But be an "expert" at SOMETHING.' At the Ischool we are introduced to a couple of different languages and techniques, I find that what you "specialize" in will greatly effect where you find work and what communities you're a part of.
We largely have seen examples of Java, mysql, php, html and css working together in various ways to build a site.
But for instance the developers I've met may be using ruby on rails, html, and css; or perhaps asp.net, c#, and xml.
Any one have any idea whats most popular out there? What technology sets are more lucrative, or "popular" out in the wild? Any one have any feedback from outside the Ischool about where the jobs are?
So far I have, within Pittsburgh, seen a large ruby following, a handful of windows asp.net/ c# / xml people, and within the Ischool they push java, and php. EVERYONE uses MySQL for database.
Any consensus about whats really popular on the job market?
