The job site’s research also shows that 78% of IT specialists think mobile computing is a good option for graduates entering the industry.CWJobs notes a survey by software firm Antenna Software and marketing agency Vanson Bourne, which shows that UK businesses are likely to double the mobile project spend over the next year and a half.

Richard Nott, website director at CWJobs, says: “Who would have guessed five years ago that apps such as Angry Birds would turn into a multimillion pound product?

“Mobile computing presents huge opportunities for businesses, and in turn, fantastic career opportunities for skilled IT pros.”
