What Skills Can Increase an Internet Developer's Salary?

Demanded Skills for the Role:

Analysis (Mentioned in 1.93% Job Postings): Analysis is the process of considering something carefully or using statistical methods in order to understand it or explain it.
Web Applications (Mentioned in 3.76% Job Postings): A web application is application software that runs in a web browser, unlike software programs that run locally and natively on the operating system of the device. They are delivered on the World Wide Web to users with an active network connection.
Software Development (Mentioned in 2.81% Job Postings): Software development is the process of conceiving, specifying, designing, programming, documenting, testing, and bug fixing involved in creating and maintaining applications, frameworks, or other software components. Software development is a process of writing and maintaining the source code, but in a broader sense, it includes all that is involved between the conception of the desired software through to the final manifestation of the software, sometimes in a planned and structured process. Therefore, software development may include research, new development, prototyping, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products. Software can be developed for a variety of purposes, the three most common being to meet specific needs of a specific client/business (the case with custom software), to meet a perceived need of some set of potential users (the case with commercial and open source software), or for personal use (e.g. a scientist may write software to automate a mundane task). Embedded software development, that is, the development of embedded software, such as used for controlling consumer products, requires the development process to be integrated with the development of the controlled physical product. System software underlies applications and the programming process itself, and is often developed separately.
