I've looked at the industry a little bit, being in IT I'm still not sure what to make of it.

I think there are opportunities for management positions, in IT, including web development, but as a general worker I believe it is not promising. Dubai seems to have man foreign workers who are paid very low wages, and you may be competing with that. It also depends on your background and experience of course.

Please kind in mind I have not been to Dubai but these are my observations from the outside.

Good luck in Dubai and please let us know what see and learn.

thanks for the input mate.. your judgment might not be conclusive but i think as far as job postings on various dubai employment sites suggest that your observation applies to Dubai as well

I would say freelancing opportiunity is very much availalbe for web developer.. It will be a WIN-WIN suituation. for client and developer.

Hope this helps

If you want to be in web development, I suggest you learn more then just web programming

some of the application you should focus on

- database integration
- web logic or websphere
- any application that is related to business process in web development such as Microsoft Biztalk server
- lots of specialize programming such as DLL File for web site


Enjoy
I love to do web programming but in professional I work most on Cisco Unified Communication networking.

Learn how to program for PDA devices.

Electro ,The problem is there are tons of developers out their so there are less demand more supply even if demand goes high in future developers still get low wages because industries are running on low margins.
