    What's the story

    As a software engineer, if you are beginning your career, or thinking of a change, web technology is the space to be in.

    Jobs here have increased sharply in recent times. And why not? The world today is functioning on computers.

    But if you don't have much knowledge about this field, don't worry. The following courses are enough to start you on your journey.

    React JS/Angular

    The most in demand are React JS and Angular

    Two of the hottest properties right now are React JS (frontend library for Facebook) and Angular (frontend framework by Google); online inquiries for the former, after a short gap, have now reached Angular's levels, even surpassing it at times.

    Both are used to create advanced, highly-interactive web applications.

    While Upwork, YouTube, Paypal and Nike use Angular, NYT, Yahoo, Airbnb and Microsoft vouch by React.

    Node JS

    Node JS is the new React JS/Angular

    Node JS is on its way to becoming the new React JS/Angular. The open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment, for a change, lets developers use JavaScript for server-side scripting, which was earlier limited to client-side.

    Top firms including Netflix, LinkedIn, Walmart, Uber and NASA use Node.js to build their primary applications.

    It's asynchronous, fast, and facilitates intensive data exchange, which has boosted its importance.

    Its main use is in server-side scripting.

    It works well on Linux, Unix, Windows, Solaris, MAC and others, and supports most servers.

    Failed in others? Try Ruby on Rails

    It helps developers to build applications quickly by abstracting and simplifying common repetitive tasks.

    Another feature is its focus on RESTful application design, which frames a logical structure within applications.

    Bloomberg, Yellow Pages, CrunchBase and Ask.fm swear by it.

    Go, the new kid on the block

    Go/GoLang is the new kid on the block. It is preferred for standalone command-line apps or scripts network and web servers.

    One advantage is that unlike most others like Java and Python, which were born in single-threaded environments, Go was released in 2009, when multi-core processors were already available.

    It is being used by Twitter, Apple, Dropbox, SoundCloud and Mozilla Firefox, among many others.
