10 Predictions that Determine the Future of Programming

post thumbnail


Every programmer should be aware of the up and coming trends that determine the future of programming. There are new platforms, new systems and new bugs that need understanding before you can start programming on that platform. Each platform is coming up with newer trends for the coming year, while some are developing trends that may come true in the coming 5 years time. These predictions are merely subjective and chances of them not coming true are high.


Here are 10 such predictions determining the way forward for the world of programming.


CPUs Replaced by GPUs


Bragging about graphics card seems to be the gamers way of living technology. While initially GPUs were merely restricted to graphical usage, today more and more programmers are developing visuals that can use the parallel architecture present in GPUs. These GPUs are being broadly used by scientists, physicists etc. to study an array of subjects. Applications based on GPU will become popular as compilers file out programs specifically targeted towards them.


Sophisticated Analysis by Databases


The gennext databases will perform tasks that are not specific to storage. There will be tasks that will do more than just storing your data. They will have sophisticated report generating units, the algorithms will run in a better way using these sophisticated databases. In fact moving and storing data with these databases will become efficient as well as affordable.


Command Line Survives


For those coding using ASP.Net development techniques or PHP development techniques will find themselves still using text editors and terminal windows. These things won’t die for the programmer in you. Most people have predicted a silent death of the command line, but it seems their wish is not to be granted. The command line will survive and last longer than expected.


JavaScripting Everything


Running JavaScript leads to lowering the load on your website and device. You will see that the future of technology will include Javascript for every single piece of programming. Every connection that the client makes will be commanded by the Javascript. Javascript may not be as zippy as native code but it makes sure your web performance is optimized.


Android Based Devices


The future of programming will see newer and better featured devices that are totally based on Android platform. These devices would not be restricted to computers and phones. You will see your refrigerators, cars, TV etc. using the Android Platform.


Increasing Platforms


Which platform are you going to develop your program for? Which base are you going to use to develop your program? You will find yourself surrounded by choices. ASP.Net development, PHP Development etc. are gaining popularity which simply means you are in for some complex choices and solutions.


Open Source Grows Popular


While open source portrays a lot of security issues, the future will see top notch open source companies securing their platforms while ensuring more customers and conversions. While open source is a good way of determining development and programming for those who cannot spend a lot of money, it comes with bugs and other issues. Though there are companies who have ventured the world of hackers, they still remain open source. These bugs will be removed by such companies and they will tighten the security around them.


WordPress- The Next Big Thing


Developing websites from the scratch seems to be a bad idea. Get started quickly by building your own website using WordPress and its numerous plugins. You just need install wordpress add the various plugins and get started. This way you can pay more attention to the website design and interface rather than the coding and overall development.


Plugins Will Grow


Why code and waste your time behind quality check of the code when you can incorporate plugins to your website. These powerful code snippets that get plugged onto the bigger framework can give a certain boost to your website. Moreover with these snippets coding can be reduced. The whole issue of removing bugs and checking the ecology of the website or the app can be ignored once you have plugins associated with the website.


Both Outsourcing & Insourcing will Co-Exist


Some believe outsourcing will be cheaper and companies will opt for this method of development, while others believe quality will be considered over price. Both these statements are true. Outsourcing would be considered if the companies believe the agency can get them a good deal. The whole idea behind outsourcing is to make possible those things that a simple tool cannot get done!
