In 2018, software development saw exponential growth in areas including blockchain technology and artificial intelligence, and the New Year has the potential to bring even more change through recent developments in automation, cybersecurity and legislation.

Software development professionals have a unique opportunity to leverage these new developments this year, and the first step in doing so is learning how their industry has been impacted.

Also, between 39 and 73 million jobs have the potential to be automated by 2030, but less than five percent of occupations involve activities that can be “fully automated.” Further, the Wall Street Journal recently wrote that […]
