Software Development: The Top 10 Trends Of
2020 and Beyond

1. The Forecast Looks Cloud-ier
Since the 1950s, cloud computing has been around, but it has only
emerged as a mainstream choice for the masses in the past decade.
Its popularity rapidly gained momentum, and cloud services
accounted for $229 billion in revenue per year by 2019.
The cloud is expected to start rising at an even faster rate.
Enterprise-level enterprises are expected to begin to hyper-scale,
switching from multi-cloud options to Omni-cloud. In breaking down
cloud barriers, the Kubernetes platform and the Red Hat OpenShift
model would lead the way, helping to make data more portable and
workloads more mobile. In short, prepare to see the walls within
the clouds broken by both niche businesses and Fortune 500s.

2. Python Will Enhance Its Competition
Computer languages are still increasing, developing, and changing, but
there is no doubt that Java, for the top spot, has already been edged out
by Python. The robust growth of Python is expected to continue into 2020
and beyond.
Python is easy to learn, making it enticing to beginners, but it is strong
enough to build top-shelf pages. Perhaps most importantly, Python helps
you automate all the boring bits from a developer's perspective. There are
even other explanations for Python's dominance-it is the language of
machine learning and data science, and an extensive global community
supports it. For the near future, accessibility, competitive advantage, and
community support would make Python the lingua franca of computer
science.

3. The Online World Is Getting Multi-Experiential
In favor of a multi-experience environment, the two-dimensional
computer world consisting of a keyboard, mouse, and screen are
dropping out: computing using augmented reality (AR), virtual
reality (VR), and mixed reality (VR) (MR).
Users would increasingly demand multi-sensory, multi-modal
experiences to be had. In particular, retailers can take advantage of
new opportunities to allow consumers to experience goods before
buying. Expect to see visual merchandising, co-creating, and the
hybridization of "clicks-and-bricks" in which online channels and on-
site showrooms work together.

4. Human Intelligence Will Boost Smart Spaces
It was all very 2019 for smart cities, smart houses, digital
workspaces, and wired factories. Expect human intelligence to
incorporate into such smart spaces this coming year. Wearable
technology is about to grow in both popularity and power, and you
will begin to see more high-tech implants. Research into useful AI,
which utilizes robots' emotional intelligence, will take off. It will
become more popular to use smart social spaces to support people
with dementia and other disabilities.

5. Expect More of Tensorflow 2.0
In the deep learning and neural network fields, Google and
Facebook will hold their lead roles. The market will be
spearheaded, particularly by Google's Tensorflow 2.0, an open-
source framework for designing and incorporating large-scale AI and
Deep Learning Models. Facebook's PyTorch Deep Learning library is
also going to do well. Both are likely to undergo massive growth,
but Tensorflow enjoys a more significant community than PyTorch,
giving the upper hand to Tensorflow.

6. Blockchain gets more convenient
The days of cryptocurrency's exclusive affiliation with blockchain
are already over. Most of the general public realizes today that
blockchain provides far more than transfers of digital currencies.
Expect new start-ups to launch ever more realistic blockchain
implementations in 2020. Proofs of concept will become MVPs and
will continue to evolve platforms. The blockchain will be used by
more and more organizations to store data, control supply chains,
and avoid fraud.

7. The Robots Are Taking Over Security
AI is going to have a more substantial hand in cybersecurity in 2020.
The number of individuals who can provide cybersecurity services
continues to lag behind the need for one thing. On the other hand,
more businesses see security as the importance of AI.
The Reinventing Cybersecurity with Artificial Intelligence study
published in 2019 by Capgemini found out that 61 percent of
businesses state that they can not detect breach attempts without
AI technology. Of these companies, 48 percent expect their
cybersecurity budgets for AI to increase by an average of 29 percent
in 2019. AI holds the key to cybersecurity's future.

8. Autonomous Things Shape the Future of Work
Gartner refers to as "autonomous things" to become more relevant as
companies are increasingly seeing technology adoption rewarded with
business growth. Expect other enterprises to invest in machine learning,
distributed systems, and web-based teams. In some industries, AI may
replace humans at a rapidly growing rate. In contrast, others will expect
robots and humans to work side-by-side or hand-in-glove to improve
efficiency, productivity, and personalization.
Verizon and Amazon Web Services announced a new alliance in December
2019 to offer 5G edge cloud computing to help consumers develop new
apps, access internet-of-things capabilities, and developments with the
net new value. This collaboration would significantly extend edge
computing and make it more widely available.

9. The No-Code Movement in Numbers and
Impacts Would Swell
People want goods themselves to be created. It is that quirk of
human nature that a few years ago made WYSIWYG platforms so
famous. As manufacturers rely less on complex code, more and
more companies collaborate to build what they need for themselves
with customizable management platforms. Remember that it took
four days for one person to build NotRealTwitter, a clone of Twitter,
and that was nearly seven years ago. Expect the no-code campaign
to take off like crazy in 2020.

10. Edge Computing May Edge Out More
Edge computing relocates the production of sensitive data to the
edge of the network, allowing computers to capture and process
data in real-time. For large autonomous things, such as self-driving
cars, edge computing is essential. The edge also reduces lag time,
restricts signal-to-noise ratio, and frees up space for data storage in
the cloud, more technically.
