Web Getting More Sophisticated in Emerging Markets, EDC Says

New findings from the most recent Emerging Markets Development Survey by Evans Data Corp. (EDC) suggest that free it certification Web developers and users in emerging markets such as Eastern Europe, Brazil and India are getting more advanced. According to EDC’s survey of more than 400 developers worldwide, developers are using Flash and AJAX, a sophisticated Web applications development method, at higher rates than their North American counterparts.

"The significant implication is that people are leveraging those capabilities to provide a much richer user experience on the Web," EDC President John Andrews said. "We’re starting to see people migrate away from static Web pages and Web pages that have to be filled in, and they’re going toward much richer, more robust, more user-friendly activities. The implication is that the Web is starting to transform itself back to almost the pre-Web, where people want more feature functionality and interactivity at their disposal. We see this both in the PC world and the mobility world."

The exception to the trend seems to be China, which has the lowest adoption rate with a little more than 16 percent. This is very similar to the North American level: just below 18 percent.

"We can guess that it’s an immature market in terms of the Web, but that’s about all we can point to right now," Andrews said.

China also falls below the norm in use of the PHP scripting language, with about 21 percent in that country using it. About 39 percent of developers in Eastern Europe and about 31 percent of those in India are using PHP, as well as 35 percent in North America.

"I think the whole area of scripting languages and where they can be leveraged in the development model is still somewhat immature," Andrews said. "I think the scripting language world is just starting to take shape free Cisco exams right now, and that’s why there are disparities across the region."

IT professionals are typically very passionate about particular public issues, but they usually don’t get involved where their own careers are concerned. But as technology has raised its profile in organizations in the past few decades, legislators and bureaucrats at all levels of government have enacted laws and made decisions that have affected the professionals who work in this critical area, for better or worse. The techies can’t afford to sit out of political battles that can significantly influence their occupations, said Mike Wendy, grassroots outreach media relations manager at CompTIA.



About four years ago, Wendy and other CompTIA personnel began brainstorming how to get IT professionals more involved in the political process for their own benefit. One of the key results that came out of this discussion was TechVoice.org, a Web site devoted to informing technology pros on political issues that might affect them, motivating them to form educated opinions on those topics and communicating their views to policy-makers.



Of course, this is all fairly broad, and Wendy free Microsoft exams acknowledged TechVoice is still in a trial-and-error phase to determine the best ways to achieve those objectives.
