In the field of software in recent years, many fundamentally new and very promising areas have appeared. This means that developers have room to grow and how to develop.
Unity (C#)
There is no platform in the world more popular for developing interactive content than Unity. This language is used to create:
- games for 30 different platforms, operating systems and game consoles;
- products from the field of augmented and virtual reality;
- computer graphics for cinema;
- transport design;
- simulation of robotics;
- building projects.
This means that if you own Unity (C #) you can find work in any of the above industries.
Revenues of the global video game market from 2012 to 2021
As you can see in this chart, the revenue of the global video game market grew every year between 2012 and 2021 at an average rate of 11%.
If the rate of growth continues, the current value of the video game market will double in 6.55 years. So in the near future, the demand for developers owning Unity will not only not decrease, but will definitely increase. Moreover, very soon Unity will provoke a new evolution of technologies of augmented and virtual reality.
Mastering the C # language is not difficult when it comes to a level that allows you to create a 3D application or a simple game. There are many tutorials and courses available online now.
You might argue that Unity has a very strong competitor, the Unreal Engine. And it really is a more high-end engine, but it is much more difficult to master it thoroughly.
Flutter (Dart)
Who wouldn’t want to publish their application on multiple platforms (or even many) at the same time using a single code? With Flutter 2.0, you can create applications for Android, iOS and Web at once. This framework works wherever a browser is present: on smartphones, PCs, etc.
Of course, most often it will be more efficient to use its native language for each platform, for example Java for Android. But in Flutter, you can implement all the same functions without any problems.
Flutter’s main competitor is React Native: they are almost equal in speed, complexity and community size.
However, Flutter took the lead in popularity, having collected 124k stars on Github in mid-2021 versus 96k stars on React Native.
Golang
Golang is a Google product that has many advantages:
- it is one of the fastest programming languages, since is compiled;
- it is supported by Google Corporation;
- it is easy to learn;
- it has a large community;
- it is great for backend, full stack and DevOps developers;
- it is not not overloaded, distinguished by minimalism and clear syntax;
- it ranks 3rd in terms of the median salary of programmers.
Survey data published on Stack Overflow in 2020
Golang supports high concurrency, multithreading, excellent performance and scalability. It is perfectly compatible with cloud computing. And as the public cloud market expands rapidly, the demand for good DevOps developers will grow every year.
Conclusion
Don’t miss your chance to take advantage of the explosive growth of any of these programming languages – their potential is clear! Even if you are not a newbie and are already using older programming languages such as PHP, Java and Ruby, it will still be incredibly useful for you to learn some innovative tool to grow your career and increase your income.
