Hello everyone I hope you all are doing well so in this post we are going to discuss technologies to learn in 2024 if you want to upskill yourself. I have done a lot of research on what technical trends are going on in the industry as well as what other developers are planning to learn. On the basis of my research, I am writing this blog post.

About Me

So before proceeding a little bit about myself. My name is Sushant. I am a programmer and a student. I’m mostly into Backend Dev and system Dev. You can check my GitHub LinkedIn profile for more info. Also, you can connect with me on my LinkedIn, Twitter, or Instagram.

Technologies to learn in 2024

I am purely not going to talk about a specific programming language but also I will talk about technical domains on which you should focus. Also, I will tell you why you should focus on that thing.

☁️ Cloud Computing – AWS

The first thing that you should learn is the cloud. Because it is the only thing that powers all the businesses that are online. Without the cloud, they cannot scale and provide their services to their customers efficiently. So as a software engineer if you have Cloud Computing as a skill then it will obviously help you sustain a long time in your career as well as get more hikes and value.

There are also several Cloud Computing platforms and it may become a tough choice to choose between them. In my advice just close your eyes and pick up Amazon Web Services. Because that’s the major competitor in the world of cloud.

👨🏻‍💻 Rust Programming Language

Well, there is no need to talk about the qualities of this programming language. Because this is the only programming language that is admired and desired #1 from 2016 to 2023 by developers. This data is based on the stack overflow developer survey 2023. 83% of people admire this programming language and a willing to work with it. So, in my opinion, this language will be a great success in the future it might have fewer jobs for now but due to its features and capabilities, it will shine very soon.

🌐 DevOps

You won’t believe but DevOps is one of the highest-paying skills in today’s market I have seen DevOps engineers getting more than software engineers. If you don’t know what is DevOps then let me explain you in simple terms. There is a team of engineers in a company that develops software. Then that product is given to the DevOps team which hosts that software on the cloud and ensures that no matter how many users are using the software it should never crash due to overload. This is just one example of what DevOps engineers do. He or she also has many other tasks to do. If you are not that much interested in writing code then you can pick up DevOps because we do not need to write a lot of code in it. By this line, I did not mean that you do not have to write a single line of code as a DevOps engineer. You will still be late to write a code but not that much of a high level.

🔗 Blockchain

I know that you have listened to this thing a lot of time in your programming journey that you should learn blockchain. I am going to repeat the same. Currently, we are in web2 and web3 is in its early stages and it will capture the technology trend very soon. That’s the only and enough reason to learn blockchain. If you learn blockchain now then you will become one of the early developers who learnt blockchain and have a lot of experience and skills in blockchain. There are thousands of blockchain-based startups and companies that are hiring throughout the year. So if you are skilled in blockchain then it won’t be very difficult for you to find a job for you. One of the main things about this is that many of the companies that offer blockchain-based jobs also allow remote working.

🖥️ Backend Engineering

This is an evergreen skill you literally cannot replace backend engineers with anyone else. We might have some artificial intelligence tools that can generate a beautiful front for our website and there is no need for a front-end developer. In a few of the cases not all of them. But backend development is a domain that can’t be replaced. No matter what are you making, what kind of software you are making, and what scale of software you are making you will always require a team of backend developers to power behind the scenes of that software. So you should surely Learn backend development. You can start with JavaScript, TypeScript, GoLang, Java, or Python.

👋 Bye Bye

So I hope that this post was helpful for you. I will be writing this kind of post, my experiences, and anything that I want to share with you on this blog. At last, I would like to say that let’s connect over different social platforms. Thank you for reading this post.
