stotheco, - It is true indeed that it may not be all developers that are in demand. there are many able programmers and its great there's an app for everything. However we need idea developers to craft apps that respond to actual corporate and personal needs.
I was thinking the same thing. I have to admit, I was pretty surprised that there is still such high demand for app developers. I knew that mobile demand is rising and will continue to rise in the years to come, but as things are right now, there seems to be an overload of apps on the App Market!
'There's an app for that...' --even for mundane and seemingly pointless purposes. While I think there is great opportunity to be had for the exceptional few developers, it might be hard to make it big and strike it rich in the market right out of school (unless you come up with something that goes viral and reaches the scale like Angry Birds.)
You don't think there will be a need for highly-secure enterprise app development in the future? I hope to see such adoption as enterprise is able to offer a closed network for approved apps developed in-house. These developers might enjoy high value in the future. HTML5 is still new enough and not widely supported across devices so I think there's still time available for the native app.
Companies that want to acquire a good developer base have an opportunity here I believe, they can visit college campuses and motivate more students to consider this direction and offer them incentives. For an app developer in this day and age, even if they don't want to work strict company hours, online work provides enough opportunities to hone their skill sets while getting good money for their efforts.
If you want to earn $100,000 your first year out of school, become an applications developer for the Android or iOS. "
True observation . According to data from recruiting and staffing specialist Robert Half Technology,mobile app developers will be enjoying a good time in the upcoming years as they are expected to observe the largest salary increments i.e upto 9%.
