For developers, the focus is deep learning, multiplatform, and coding skills

On GitHub, developers are spending more time on cross-platform development, deep learning, and acquring new coding skills, based on the popular code-sharig site's analysis of activity on GiHub in 2017. Google's Angular JavaScript framework and TensorFlow machine learning library have experienced upticks in participation. Projects for learning, such as GitHub's Coding Interview University, also have done well. For multiplatform and web development, the Angular CLI project, which provides a command-line interface for Angular applications, more than doubled its number of contributors from 2016 to 2017. Interest in the Angular framework itself also increased, as did participation in Facebook's React JavaScript UI library and GitHub's own Electron framework.
