I'm managing editor at Packt. I want to understand what skills developers will need over the next few years, so that we can help them skill up today.
We want to empower all developers to do amazing things and help build the future.
The biggest danger for us isn't wrongly predicting something that doesn't happen, but missing something that DOES happen. I've been in Packt almost since the start. We were among the first to really spot Open Source CMSs and development frameworks. But I still have nightmares about how long it took us to appreciate the full implications of iOS and Android. :S
But of course this is also just a bit of fun. I hope it's just plain interesting for everyone.
