Competition in the job market is rising at an exponential rate and this is not a third world problem but a global phenomenon. This is because with passing time machines are competing with men to perform job efficiently and quickly. That’s why you need special skills to outperform your fellow human and machine competitors.
The sector that is growing rapidly and still has an enormous scope is the world of websites. Website design, development and digital marketing; these 3 departments broadly segregate this world. In addition there is one more vital department and that is grooming of job aspirants. If you’re a fresh pass out, having a graduation degree; parents of such a student then this blog is well suitable for you. Let’s see them individually.
Website design: The foremost thing that captivates your attention is the exquisite design layout of a website. Website design is comprised of several components. You might have heard such terms such as CSS, HTML, JavaScript, jQuery plus Photoshop and Flash. In pure sense the last 2 terms could be called the actual members of this department. The designers who play with first 4 terms are better called front-end developers.
These days’ websites are equally meant for desktops as well as for mobile devices. Have you noticed how smoothly they fit into different monitor dimensions? The magic behind this is the responsive web design.
Many people say that Flash is a term that has outlived its efficiency. I do not think so. Whatsoever Hollywood movies you see where special effects are used to create life-sized Dinosaurs: those special effects are mainly made from Flash and JavaScript. Of course there are many more essential parts associated.
Website development: This is a strict regime of programmers who love coding and having their cup of coffees. Many popular languages are used to build websites such as PHP, Ruby, Java, .NET etc. Mostly all of them heavily rely upon OOP or Object Oriented Paradigm (PHP is less dependent on OOP).
If you’re aware of C and C++ (I mean well aware of them) then taking a first step in web development would not pose difficulty. Main aim of developers is to make a website much more user friendly, scalable and effective. They also help in to enhance the loading speed of a website (now that’s a great boon for an always in the run user).
Ecommerce industry is a booming one and there are many open source and paid CMS platforms to help you control and operate your website much easily- Magento, Joomla, Drupal, BigCommerce being some of the names.
Digital Marketing: Ever wondered why the hell some websites come first when you search for a term at Google? Well the answer is SEO or Search Engine Optimization. This is a part of an expanded world of ‘Digital Marketing’.
Marketing is an extremely important aspect of a business. You’ll say, ‘Microsoft does not need it.’ True but they built a rock solid foundation before and needed good deal of marketing in the initial stages.
Digital marketing applies SEO, SMO (Social Media Optimization), Online Reputation Management and Content Creation and Marketing among others to bring focus of netizens on a particular website.
Student Grooming: This is a common sector of the overall job market. How you face your interviewers, is invaluable. Before applying for a job make yourself tough.
All of the above sectors are comprised within a good web developer course. Prudently select it after all this is a question of your life.
