I&#x27;m managing editor at Packt. I want to understand what skills developers will need over the next few years, so that we can help them skill up today.<p>We want to empower all developers to do amazing things and help build the future.<p>The biggest danger for us isn&#x27;t wrongly predicting something that doesn&#x27;t happen, but missing something that DOES happen. I&#x27;ve been in Packt almost since the start. We were among the first to really spot Open Source CMSs and development frameworks. But I still have nightmares about how long it took us to appreciate the full implications of iOS and Android. :S<p>But of course this is also just a bit of fun. I hope it&#x27;s just plain interesting for everyone.
