IT Skills survey 2012 – what do you need to progress?

IT professionals – what do you know and what do you need to know? To find out what skills are considered important by programmers, developers or IT managers, Computing.co.uk questioned 400 readers in a recent survey. Answers to questions such as “Which programming skills do you have?” and “Which programming skill do you see as the most important over the next two years?” are compared to find future trends. Today’s top three programming skills were given as SQL, HTML and Unix/Linux in comparison to the three languages seen as key for the future: Android, Java and .net. Readers were also asked about their skills in database management and analytics with just above and below 50% of respondents saying they possessed skills in the field of SQL Server, Business Intelligence and Oracle.
