Many software developers worry about their employers laying them off and sending their work overseas. For many routine coding tasks, that fear may be well-founded, but developers with some specialized skills say it is much easier for them to find — and keep — a job. Experts predict that developers with the following skills will be in high demand for the coming years:
- Cross-platform mobile development
- Mainframe/cloud computing integration
- Cloud migration engineering
- RIA portability
- Parallel computing application architecture
