Pluralsight, Inc. (NASDAQ: PS), the enterprise technology skills
platform, today announced that it has expanded its Technology Index
tool to address the most in-demand technologies for IT operations,
information security, and data professionals in addition to the
previously existing ranking of top in-demand software developer
languages.
Pluralsight’s expanded Technology Index provides a monthly
snapshot into the most in-demand technologies, tools, languages,
frameworks and certifications, enabling tech leaders and
practitioners to keep their finger on the pulse of technology
innovation. Ranking the demand and growth rate of more than 850
languages, tools and frameworks for software developers, IT
operations, information security, and data professionals, the Index
draws from more than 23 billion data points across eight
sources.
“The pace of technology change is faster than ever, and tech
leaders are struggling to keep pace. We created the Technology
Index to give organizations an effective and easy-to-use tool to
better understand the direction and cadence of the latest
enterprise tech innovations. Using the Index, tech leaders can
leverage independent data points to help inform their next tech
investments and develop the skills their teams need,” said Nate
Walkingshaw, chief experience officer at Pluralsight.
Top Technologies for Software Developers
Pluralsight’s Technology Index continues to track the most
in-demand technologies for software development, delivering a
current snapshot of programming languages most important to tech
leaders. The top ten software development languages ranked by the
Pluralsight Technology Index are still dominated by legacy
languages like Java, Javascript, C and HTML. Four new technologies
- Python, Android Development, PHP, and Git - have entered the top
10 since last year, displacing Blockchain, jQuery, CSS, and
Arduino. The list of the latest top 10 in-demand and fastest
growing developer technologies, frameworks, tools, and
certifications are as follows:
Top 10 In-Demand: Developer 1 - JavaScript2 -
Java3 - HTML4 - Python5 - C++6 - Android Development7- C8 - C#9 -

Top 10 Fastest Growth Rate: Developer1 -
Svelte2 - UiPath3 - Microsoft Powerapps4 - Fixie5 - Microsoft
Managed Services Engine6 - Microsoft Flow7 - Dart8 - Automation
Anywhere9 - MobX10 - .Net Core
“Software engineering teams face the challenge of maintaining
expertise in core legacy languages such as JavaScript or C, while
staying open to new technologies that enable them to create new
products and services for their customers. As software development
languages, tools, and frameworks continuously evolve, engineers
must find ways to stay informed on what’s new and keep pace with
the speed of change,” said Travis Kimmel, head of developer
productivity at Pluralsight.
Top Technologies for Data Professionals
The rise in demand for data-intensive applications such as
machine learning and artificial intelligence has sparked an

“Data is playing an increasingly important role for businesses
looking to gain a competitive edge and as such, enterprises are
investing heavily in technologies that enable machine learning, AI
and analytics to get the insights and deliver the services they
need to stay ahead,” said James Aylward, head of learner at
Pluralsight.

The addition of IT Ops to the Technology Index addresses the top
enabling technologies for core IT operations, including digital
transformation efforts like cloud migration. Although operating
systems such as Linux, Ubuntu, macOS, and Microsoft Windows
dominate the list, technologies such as Docker and Amazon S3
demonstrate the growing importance of cloud computing in the
enterprise. The top ten most in-demand and fastest-growing IT
Operations technologies, tools and certifications are as
follows:

“The speed of technology innovation is faster than ever before
and technology leaders need to stay informed on the changing nature
of enterprise tech in order to ensure they have sufficient
resources to keep up with the pace of change. Pluralsight has its
finger on the pulse of the rapidly changing technology landscape
and delivers a comprehensive platform to ensure that organizations
