Bangalore: Software has proven to be one of the most promising areas in technology, whether it relates to creating websites or writing an algorithm. The world we live in works on computers, and one must use programming languages to communicate with them.

From people using the internet to gather information and to connect with one another, to the creation of different platforms to perform specific tasks with the data collected; and diverse data that needs to manage it with Big Data solutions; the scenarios in software development just form the tip of an iceberg, and one that can be made to work for you, if you know how to use it.

With areas in software diversifying according to increasing needs and newer technologies being invented to meet those needs, the number of upcoming topics has been increasing by the day.

If you’re wondering which topics made it to the top of the list that is most asked for, and asked about, this is your must-read piece. Here are the most up and coming areas of software and internet technology that you should be aware of:

1.HTML 5

What is it? HTML5 is the fifth revision of HTML, (a web language proposed by Opera software) to structure and present content for the World Wide Web. Being a core technology of the Internet, it supports the latest multimedia while the code is easily readable by humans and yet consistently understandable by computers as well as technological devices.

How hot is it? Extremely hot. The revamped version of this language has been in software development news since 2010 when it first debuted, and will be for the next decade, according to a report on ZD Net, because it provides capabilities to deal with content, data and applications.

Why is it important? Because it opens up a portal through which almost any sort of content can be accessed, with the greatest quality HTML5 has been incorporated into the latest version of almost every browser. Adobe even shunned its’ Flash because of how it was faring in comparison with HTML5. Even mobile applications can be developed on and backed by this platform.

How much does it pay? $116,000 per annum in Silicon Valley, around $76,000 per annum in other parts of the US

If you’re interested in knowing how to build HTML mobile apps in hours, or how to creating a continuum of experiences using HTML5, the India Software Developer Conference is the place for you to be. Join in on the conversation on March 24 through 25, at Bangalore.
