We are already in the third month of 2019, and it’s not so early to drive your software development teams to something better. It does not matter if your software house company just getting started in 2019 or has enough experience by the start of the year; you have a lot of things to do.
In this article, we would be talking about a few of the big software trends to follow in 2019. We understand that we cannot include every trend, and we are trying to give you a general overview to begin with. Once you have this idea, you can change things as per the industry and sub-areas your organization is working in.
#1 The Rise of the Planet of AI
We have been talking about Artificial Intelligence for quite some time now. However, 2019 will be the year when you see AI in real action. Building software algorithms that evolve according to the input is something you should focus on, no matter what you are working on. The best part here is that you don’t have to worry about the upper standards. Even if your team has beginner-level knowledge of AI, you can build something awesome out of the deal.
#2 Hail Cybersecurity
If there is one thing we’ve learnt through all these years, it’s that security issues are increasing. In the year of 2018 alone, there have been tremendous security issues, affecting big and small players alike. So, it does not really matter what you are developing, it should be offering the highest level of security. At this point, it is necessary to have concern over your security and the user’s security. In most cases, even the smallest bug in your system can cost your company not just trust but thousands of users. And, that’s not really the best.
#3 Need for Blockchain
Blockchain too, has been on the run, for the past couple of years, and things have become simpler and more accessible in the course of time. In other words, there are more resources to understand how the blockchain technology can benefit your business and the tailored needs. With this in mind, it won’t be tough for you to include the basic ideas of blockchain — transparency, de-centralized control etc. — while you are developing a piece of software. And the best part is that you have a number of frameworks to choose from to start off.
#4 Progressive Web Apps
It’s not ideal that we have been talking about progressive web apps for the past years. Even after the proper understanding of how beneficial they can be, the adoption rates of progressive web apps have been low on some side. This would definitely change in 2019, considering that you have more resources to count on. On top of these, the year of 2018 had also seen the rise of their popularity. Just so you know, building a PWA is going to feel light on the aspects of budgets and marketing, which is something great.
#5 Hello World, IoT
Internet of Things has been the buzzword of technology for quite some time, but let’s admit it, the software part has still so many things to make better. Integration seems to be the key here, considering that people want things to be accessible as quickly and as conveniently as possible. As software developers, blending of an impressive UI and a few other factors would definitely help you in making an Internet of Things-friendly app or platform.
So, these are, we believe, some of the biggest software trends we can count on in 2019. While it’s not sure that the course would be exclusive through these trends, we cannot ignore them on any day.
