A STUDY OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TOOLS THAT ARE REQUIRED IN THE JOB MARKET IN UKRAINE AND THE WORLD

Abstract

The article investigates the direction of modern web and software development. The works of domestic and foreign scientists devoted to the study of prospective directions of IT development are analyzed. It is revealed that the existing IT ratings detect global trends, but almost never highlight the specifics of the Ukrainian job market. That is why, as well as taking into account that the reviews of IT trends are rapidly becoming obsolete, the authors of the article set the goal to analyze the actual trends of network and software development in Ukraine and the world. Analysis of indices that was done by well-known consulting and IT companies (PYPL, TIOBE, GitHub and StackOverflow) has allowed the identification of the trends that will have the most significant impact on the IT industry in the future. Such trends include the use of cloud technologies, the use of large data, the introduction of visual and voice search services, the widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and Internet of Things (IoT) technology. As a result of the monitoring of the modern job market, the authors of the article, taking into account the data obtained by other researchers, created a rating of used and demanded programming languages in Ukraine and worldwide. It has been found that JavaScript, Java, Python, C# and C++ are the most popular languages in the world today. Some differences between the tendencies in the use of programming languages in Ukraine and other countries are found. Thus, in Ukraine, development of web applications is more popular and in demand compared to the Western countries. That is why Ukrainian developers prefer JavaScript and PHP. At the same time, developers in other countries often use Java and Python programming languages. The most popular front-end frameworks for JavaScript are AngularJS, Node.js and React. These tools will be relevant in the nearest future.
