Countries that Offer the Best Value For Money When Recruiting a Web Developer
If
you’ve ever wondered about which countries produce the best web developer,
you’ve come to the right place. A news report from CA based Hacker Rank which
studies developer skills and aptitudes worldwide has said it is China. While
the second place goes to Russia, Poland is third. Traditional developer nations
like United States and India, by contrast, score a dismal 28 and 31 rank
respectively.
- Hacker Rank’s Findings
According
to Hacker Rank’s data, China and Russia easily have the most talented developers.
Chinese developers outscore other countries when it comes to functional
programming, data structure challenges and mathematics. Russia, on the other
hand, dominates in algorithms which Hacker Rank deemed to be a popular and
competitive arena.
- US At Rank 28?
The
position of the United States at #28 well behind Japan, Greece and even Chile
was the result of so many factors. Though US birthed the internet and developed
many coding tools, there’s presently a low emphasis on maths and science in
American schools today, as per the Pew Research Report. This marks a fairly
consistent trend. For example, at the collegiate level of the ACM International
Collegiate Programming Contest, schools from China and Russia beat MIT and
Harvard!
- Top Countries for Web Development
Destinations
like Malta, Ukraine, Switzerland, Hungary and Poland are also gaining ground as
amazing choices for web developer firms. China scored
right on top but Italy was not far behind. Apple has recently announced a new
school for 600 developers in Italy’s University of Napoli Federico II. As far
as shell scripting challenges and maths are concerned, the Czech Republic
developers are on the map too. French developers dominate the C++ challenge as
programming classes for this have been offered in elementary schools since June
2014.
Taiwan
also scored high on database, functional programming data structure and
algorithm challenges. Finally, at AI, Japanese web developer communities are
exceptional. Japan is making rapid advancements in the field of artificial
intelligence with the University of Tokyo even using AI to diagnose cancer and
save lives! Another favourite is Hungary, which is one of the first EU nations
to adopt computer programming classes into education in primary and secondary
schools.
Then,
there’s Switzerland which is the birthplace of Pascal, one of the first
computer programming languages in the world. The Swiss nation even ranked first
in the Global Innovation Index, 2016.
Malta
remains one of the hottest new destinations for web development, along with
Ukraine. If you are looking for cost-effective and professional web development
solutions, these two countries are a great choice. For example, Ukrainian
developers can be hired at USD 3000 per month as against 3-4 times the amount
charged by their counterparts in developed countries. Malta is another great
option, because this EU Island is a haven for ICT, IT and software development.
It has experienced and skilled middle level and senior developers available at
really affordable costs.
So
while the favourite destinations for outsourcing remain countries like India,
the research shows why nations like China, Russia and Malta are a better
choice. Choose wisely and you may be able to get the benefits of professional website
design and development at half the price of a developed country at these
locations!
