The Future of the Field
Bernardo Castilho, Chief Technology
Officer
While times have changed since
I was last in the world of academia, it is refreshing to
see that the field I chose is still considered to be a good
choice for the today's younger generations. I recently read
an article that said that in the technology sector, computer
software engineer careers are expected to grow by 48% through
2014.
|
It is rewarding to see that my fellow developers have laid
a solid foundation and have created an environment that
is attractive to new prospects. ComponentOne's plans for
2013 and beyond will continue to strengthen this foundation.
As the computer software field continues to grow, so too
will the technology software developers use to create the
software programs of the future.
ComponentOne's extended 2013 v1 WinRT product line and
support for HTML5 and touch interfaces hint at things to
come. Our offerings will evolve to provide the developers
of today and tomorrow the tools they need not only to enhance
their applications, but to save them time and effort. For
example,
our new SpreadJS brings Excel's power and ease-of-use
to HTML5 developers. Plus,
the latest version
of Wijmo makes it a breeze to target mobile devices in addition
to the desktop.
