With 2021 nearing its end, it is about time we start preparing for the year to come. That means cleaning and organizing our rooms, discarding anything that we don’t want to take with us in the next year, and making a new year’s resolution. It is, however, particularly difficult to choose a skill to learn in the upcoming year, as there are plenty of popular and in-demand skills.
We recommend learning a programming skill as, according to research IT related, or programming skills will help out individuals the most in the upcoming year. We have, therefore, brought you a list of the most preferred and most useful programming skills for the year 2022.
However, before starting the list, we must jot down the top few programming languages that individuals who are just starting with programming should learn.
These are:
C and C++ Python Java SQL
Simplicity makes the job easy. Low-code application platforms are simple alternatives to complicated and difficult-to-understand software development tools. They require basic programming knowledge (and some tech-related creativity) to develop simple applications. Such applications are what business organizations mostly demand.
Their main objective of creating an application is to market their products and services and ease the process of online transactions for their customers. Therefore, most business organizations look for programmers who code on low-code platforms such as Mendix, Quixy, and Microsoft PowerApps.
Learning a programming language is only the first step towards learning programming. Programming skills such as understanding UI/UX designs are equally important. It is important to know the basics of this programming skill as most, if not all, interviewers ask about it.
UI/UX design involves studying an organization's target audience or consumers to create a relevant application that they can use with ease. A clothing brand, for example, will target consumers both knowledgeable and illiterate about technology. Therefore after understanding the UI/UX trends, one can create a platform that will work for all consumers.
With businesses prioritizing the digitalization of their products, companies are generating huge amounts of digital data from various sources. Therefore, data engineering is one more programming skill that is in demand.
Such skill requires one to understand how to collect and organize data from various sources, analyze the collected data, categorize or classify it, and optimize data storage by getting rid of everything irrelevant. One can easily perform such responsibilities if one knows the programming languages such as Python, SQL, or Java and understands the basics of cloud computing.
The list mentioning programming skills is not exhaustive; there are several other programming-related skills that one can learn in the year 2022. However, those mentioned are the ones recruiters intentionally look for in candidates. Therefore, we recommend learning either one of these. Or perhaps all!
