As we close out a crazy 2009 and head toward a new year, there are plenty of things to reflect on within your IT career. Apart from shifts in the economy and how business adapted to survive, it seems that technology underwent a seismic shift as well. Cloud Computing became a part of the mainstream vernacular. For the first time, the hardware, software, and Internet bandwidth needed to support the ‘network as the computer’ became a realistic possibility for enterprise IT. While CIO’s will be tinkering with their Cloud Strategy through much of 2010, it also begs questions for what changes the Cloud will have on rank-and-file IT professionals as the economy comes out of its deep freeze. In this video segment, I explore some of the main ideas in Leon Erlanger’s July InfoWorld Article, The Tech jobs the Cloud will Eliminate.
Watch my video and give the article a read. Let me know your thoughts on what you are doing with Cloud Computing going into 2010.

now that it is 2011, it really seems like the future for careers in IT should be geared toward Internet/web development and most importantly social marketing. And, just networking, in general, online. That seems to be where it’s at and will be for the foreseeable future.

I agree with Wesley’s comment, 2010 showed and 2011 will be a good time to be a web programmer. Even I’m starting to brush up on my HTML skills just to be safe.
