From O’Reilly: 5 key areas for tech leaders to watch in 2020
Our annual analysis of the O’Reilly online learning platform reveals Python’s continued dominance and important shifts in infrastructure, AI/ML, cloud, and security.
Python is preeminent. It’s the single most popular programming language on O’Reilly, and it accounts for 10% of all usage.
Software architecture, infrastructure, and operations are each changing rapidly. The shift to cloud native design is transforming both software architecture and infrastructure and operations.
ML + AI are up, but passions have cooled. Up until 2017, the ML+AI topic had been amongst the fastest growing topics on the platform. Growth is still strong for such a large topic, but usage slowed in 2018 (+13%) and cooled significantly in 2019, growing by just 7%.
Still cloud-y, but with a possibility of migration. Strong usage in cloud platforms (+16%) accounted for most cloud-s
Security is surging. Aggregate security usage spiked 26% last year, driven by increased usage for two security certifications: CompTIA Security (+50%) and CompTIA CySA+ (+59%).
A great list for potential training and learning.
