Top 20 mobile skills in demand
Dice, the mega-job board for tech professionals, just issued a list of the top search terms hiring managers are using to secure mobile development talent.
Of note: Blackberry app development is still in the game, ranked as the fourth most sought-after skill on the list this month. Android appears to top Apple's iOS, but "iPhone" also appears in seventh place, so it's not clear where iOS demand ranks. But then again, Java ranks third place, and the language has only been available to iOS platforms for less than a year, so it's likely still reflects Android activity.
Interestingly, Dice President Shravan Goli also observes that the presence of Informix and .NET in the top 10 "may be a testament to companies trying to mobilize their current infrastructures.'
The top 20 search terms are as follows:
- Android
- iOS
- Java
- Blackberry
- 4G
- SDK

- C#, C, C/C++
- Objective-C
- Informix
