Trends indicate that Web services will continue to grow. The demand for new classes of applications that use the Web is bound to increase. According to Kunle Adewunmi, “In terms of the future, XML is growing rapidly, PHP is very popular, Perl is certainly losing ground. CSS seems like it will be here as long as HTML is here. XML and XML offsprings are growing; Flash/Action script is being used on most sites now. The current trend is that most apps/services that used to be available only locally are now being made available online through the Internet”.
The future also isn’t just about establishing an Internet presence for your client. It is necessary to have an owner mentality – see yourself as responsible for the success of the website - what does the site owner want to achieve? How will the development and design help in attract users (target audience) to the site in a manner that will add value to their business? Will the target audience visit the site regularly?
Web personality? You must have the drive, the passion for the web environment. But though passion is great, it is not enough. As a specialized form of programming you must use your passion to drive creativity and you must be ready to pay attention to detail. Furthermore, just as in other IT professional roles, soft skills can't be ignored. This role often requires large doses of communication, organization and interpersonal skills.
Web development is interesting, but make no mistake you still have to work to create opportunity for yourself. Soft skills are particularly important for getting the right opportunity. It’s okay to be armed with the knowledge but where will you demonstrate value? Also consider your growth options. Look for experience and also volunteer. Provide Web assistance for “charitable organizations, your Old school, religious body (Mosque, Church, associations), NGO or your community group”. In addition develop your own website and portfolio for both practice and promotion.
