We bring you a roundup of 11 trends prominent in the world of enterprise tech and software development right now. Some have been relevant for a while, and continue to increase in importance, while others are newcomers.
Looking at trends can help you find new opportunities that your competitors are probably already making use of.
Many of the software development trends revolve around two major themes: infrastructure and data – especially making the most of data. This includes being able to process and use data (Python, Big Data, AI, IoT) and keeping data secure (cybersecurity).
