Recently, Huawei and Hongmeng software manufacturers are actively cultivating Hongmeng development talents. Industry-university linkage and industry-education integration are important paths. Currently, 23 985 universities and 46 211 universities have opened or will soon open HarmonyOS-related courses.
An insider of Hongmeng Ecosystem said that currently there is a shortage of Hongmeng development talents, while Android development talents are relatively surplus. Technicians who master Hongmeng are paid better than Android developers, which makes many developers willing to transfer to Hongmeng development.
Nanjing University has launched a "Mobile Internet Software Engineering" course, using HarmonyOS as the core of the course, replacing the original Android development course. For the consumer market, Huawei has launched the HarmonyOS NEXT, the Hongmeng native application plan. Judging from Huawei’s external disclosure information, many heavyweight mobile Internet leaders have recently launched the development of Harmony native applications.
As a new operating system, what are the development difficulties and challenges of Hongmeng? Liu Qin believes that there are relatively few Hongmeng development tools. Nanda is discussing with Hongmeng engineers to build an automated testing tool. Because the previous open source tools only supported Android, and the Hongmeng development language and UI framework have changed, new tools need to be developed. A Hongmeng ecological insider also said that Hongmeng development is not difficult. Basically, it can be developed in 1-2 months of training. However, Hongmeng has relatively few tools and requires open source members to continuously develop tools. He also revealed that currently, major companies are in urgent need of Hongmeng talents, and the wages are relatively high. In addition, there is a relative surplus of Android talents. This is a very favorable time for Hongmeng to attract development talents.
As the Hongmeng system gradually matures and the market continues to expand, the demand for Hongmeng talents is also increasing. The establishment of "Hongmeng Classes" in colleges and universities and the cultivation of Hongmeng development talents are important measures to meet market demand. At the same time, it is also necessary to continuously strengthen technology research and development and talent training to provide strong support for the development of Hongmeng Ecosystem.
