I'm working in Spain and the skills that show up on the job board most are: frameworks(especially Zend), Jquery, cms customization, custom cms, flash/as, ecommerce, and of course php and java. So this article is fairly spot on except iphone isn't as common here so it would be better to think in terms of general mobile applications. Other stuff such as fb apps certainly doesn't hurt, many companies embrace different ways of promotion. PSD to xhtml is fine but it doesn't pay very well.

(no offense intended to people who work in these areas, as a lot of money has been made) But if you really want to be a sought after developer, look at ASP.NET/Java/C#. C# in particular is incredibly sought after right now. Think about it, a language that is both usable in web development and windows development. I'm a professional developer so obviously I'm going to recommend the technologies I use.. but I can also see how the technology can scale and can be usable in multiple situations, which development managers love because he can go to management with a money saving idea which actually is a good development practice!

Thanks. I needed a laugh. Let's see... Framework knowledge: doesn't matter to the customer. They want a website, they don't care how it's done. Widget development: for the five people who use widgets? Custom CMS themes: designer's pool, not developer's. Get your titles straight. CMS customizations: not a problem if you don't use a CMS, is it? PSD-to-XHTML: yeah right. You like tables? You like sloppy code? Code you didn't even write? Customize it. I dare you. Then come to me when you've beaten your head into a bloody pulp on the wall. I know good code. JS plugin creation: jQuery? Facebook/MySpace: Ha. Waste of time. eCommerce integration: again, only an issue *when there's something to integrate.* Flash: wow. One out of ten. Impressive. For those who don't like lists and prefer my reasoning (which might be two of you): I am a developer. I'm well versed in HTML, JS, jQuery, and the .Net technologies needed to power my sites. I don't use any of the aforementioned tricks, because frankly, your CMS has 5,000 features, 20 of which my customer is ever going to use. The administration system that I just custom-built for him from the ground up? 100% proper code (from a PSD), very streamlined, very fast, and has exactly the 20 features he needs. I showed it to a friend and his first question was, "Why'd you bother with the loading indicator?" That's how fast it is. tl;dr: You can have your frameworks and everything else that's ruining the development market. I'm a purist coder. I use the basic forms of the technologies to accomplish everything I need, and if I can't do it with jQuery, HTML and .Net, then I don't need to do it. Needless to say, I haven't hit that wall yet. Ha. Thanks. I needed a laugh. Let’s see…

Framework knowledge: doesn’t matter to the customer. They want a website, they don’t care how it’s done.

Widget development: for the five people who use widgets?

Custom CMS themes: designer’s pool, not developer’s. Get your titles straight.

CMS customizations: not a problem if you don’t use a CMS, is it?

PSD-to-XHTML: yeah right. You like tables? You like sloppy code? Code you didn’t even write? Customize it. I dare you. Then come to me when you’ve beaten your head into a bloody pulp on the wall. I know good code.
