Machine Learning, IoT Top Developer Focus - Dice Insights

What technologies are developers focusing on these days? According to the Evans Data Corporation Global Development Survey (PDF), the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, and automobiles are three areas targeted by app-builders. Some 45 percent of the 1,441 surveyed developers said that IoT was very important to their overall app strategy; another 41 percent suggested that cognitive computing and artificial intelligence (A.I.) were very important. Among those developers whose primary focus is creating apps with machine-learning capabilities, the most-targeted categories for those apps included the Internet of Things (11.4 percent), professional, scientific and technical services (10 percent), and manufacturing (9.4 percent). In addition, these categories sometimes overlap.
