Какие университеты сегодня выпускают талантливых программистов?

It’s not just the premier universities that offer high-ranking computer science programs. A new report finds that other universities across the U.S. are producing students with the highly sought-after programming skills companies need.

As the demand for software developers outweighs supply, it’s a good time to look for tech talent in new places, according to HackerRank’s report, “The Best New Tech Talent May Not Be Where You Think: A Guide to Hiring from Universities in 2021.”

Лучшие языки, которые ищут компании: Питон, SQL, Java, JavaScript, Rest API и Go.

“As more American companies embrace long-term remote or hybrid work, they have their pick of top tech talent across several U.S. regions–and beyond schools with computer science programs that often top academic rankings, like Carnegie Mellon University or MIT,” wrote the report’s author, HackerRank CEO Vivek Ravisankar.

For example, students at the New Jersey Institute of Technology topped the charts in four out of five languages, according to the report. Outside the New York metropolitan area, “there are pockets of great talent” at the State University of New York at Buffalo and Rochester.

“Moving west, top talent emerges at University of Texas at Arlington and Dallas–notable as some companies open new office spaces in Texas. Oregon State University is another standout,” Ravisankar wrote.

В отчете оценивались показатели успешности сертификации студентов на тех языках, на которых они сдают экзамены чаще всего. Более традиционные школы информатики, в том числе Массачусетский технологический институт, Калифорнийский технологический институт, Стэнфорд и Гарвард, были включены в более широкую оценку, проведенную HackerRank, но они не вошли в пятерку лучших школ по этому рейтингу технических навыков, основанному на результатах, сказал Рависанкар.

He said he was not surprised by this year’s findings. “Within the HackerRank community, we regularly see amazing tech talent from schools and regions others do not. This is exactly why we started HackerRank. We set out to uncover great talent from the places that are often overlooked, which has become increasingly important in today’s talent war.”  

Python, SQL и Java остаются сильными; Go становится мейнстримом

Python is developers’ most preferred language in which to earn certifications, and the second most in-demand by companies, the report said. “Its versatility means it’s loved by beginner developers and those working on heavy industrial applications alike.”

Additionally, “SQL skills are crucial for budding data scientists–a role that’s seeing steady growth in demand–and most companies still need these skills to access data stored in a relational database,” Ravisankar wrote. “SQL continues to hold strong among students, and we see similar success with Java certifications.”

He called Go “the popular new kid on the block,” noting that it was developed by three Google employees to solve pain points of building with other languages. “Its speed, lack of huge documentation and concurrency mean it’s gaining traction with big names across the industry including Uber, Dropbox and of course, Google.”

JavaScript and Rest API skills aren’t as strong

Despite widespread use by companies like Netflix, PayPal and Instagram, “there is a palpable dislike of JavaScript in the developer community, and its certification success rate hovers at just 27%,” according to the report. 

That said, “it’s the top skill companies are seeking. Meanwhile, companies like Twitter and Slack moving away from REST means developers are less interested in learning it,” according to the report.

Другие известные американские школы, предлагающие программы по информатике, включают Университет Колорадо в Боулдере, Университет Мэриленда в Колледж-Парке, Университет Центральной Флориды, Университет Северной Каролины в Шарлотте и Мичиганский университет в Анн-Арборе.

Университеты с сильными программами CS по всему миру

In India, the University of Mumbai leads skilled tech talent pools for Python, JavaScript and REST API, while PICT has the country’s best Java and SQL early talent pools, according to the report. VIT, Chennai “also makes a strong showing across languages.”

Historically, companies have searched for top tech talent in India only in the IITs, NITs and BITS, the report said, “especially because hiring managers didn’t have the bandwidth to conduct in-person interviews at more universities in such a large talent market.

“With the emergence of platforms like HackerRank, this challenge is fading,” the report said. “Now, hiring managers can quickly assess candidates’ skills remotely.”

Компании, ищущие технические таланты в других странах Азиатско-Тихоокеанского региона, могут найти высококвалифицированных студентов в Бангладеш, Индонезии и Шри-Ланке, в таких школах, как Университет инженерии и технологий Раджшахи, Университет Бинуса и Университет Перадении, говорится в отчете.

“Strong tech talent will likely continue to emerge in this region over the coming years: Indonesia is now among the top 10 countries with the most billion-dollar startups, while the young labor forces in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are growing.”

В Европе в список входят традиционно высоко оцениваемые программы в области компьютерных наук, такие как программы Оксфордского университета и ETH Zurich, но молодые технологические таланты в Европе распространены более широко, чем предполагают многие традиционные рейтинги, говорится в отчете.

For example, universities in Switzerland, Ireland, Germany and England hold the top honors for students with Python and Rest API skills, the report said. “For companies looking to expand outside high-cost countries, several schools in Egypt, Turkey and Poland offer students with Java and SQL chops.”

HackerRank заявил, что проанализировал более 1 миллиона попыток сертификации по 14 навыкам, предпринятых студентами из 1,149 университетов в 102 странах в период с января 2020 года по апрель 2021 года.
