We Met with Young Software Developer Candidates

We made suggestions about the expectations of the software industry, new trends in the sector, Drupal and a little bit about how to follow a path for success.

The IT sector is actually a very large sector compared to many sectors and there are many jobs that friends working in this field can do. First of all, we emphasised to young friends that they made a very right choice and that there is a field that they can definitely love and be successful in this sector. The reasons we listed for choosing the IT sector;

1. Being in the top 10 in the list of the best professions
2. Rapid growth of employee demand
3. Job security
4. Opportunity to work from home or anywhere in the world
5. Being open to continuous learning and development
6. Encouraging creativity
7. Increasing value day by day
8. Including different career paths
9. Opportunity to work in different sectors as each company has a connection with technology
10. Improving problem solving skills

In the software industry, especially remote working can bring very important opportunities and experiences to young friends during their student years. They can meet with employers through some websites, they can earn money by working on small-scale jobs / projects, but most importantly, they will gain experience through a real job.

Although the IT sector is very large on its own, software, which is only a part of informatics, is divided into various fields within itself, such as web-based, desktop, embedded, mobile software development. As such, it becomes even more important for them to specialise in a field and to do their job in the best way possible.

We also talked about some new trends in software;

• Using Artificial Intelligence to build websites and applications
• JavaScript
• Internet of Things 
• Static Site Creation Tools
• Ruby on Rails
• Open Source Software
• Material Design
• Single page websites
• Animation and moving structures instead of static images
• Angular
• GIT Usage

We talked about the above-mentioned topics in detail, emphasising how important it is to constantly read and follow new technologies and trends in the IT sector.

We also devoted a large part of our conversation to Drupal, we shared our experience and knowledge about who uses Drupal, how Drupal can make things easier, why they should use Drupal. In fact, it seems that the curriculum taught in vocational high schools should be up-to-date and ensuring rapid adaptation to new technologies is one of the important issues that need to be solved.
