How statistics are calculated
We count how many offers each candidate received and for what salary. For example, if a NFT developer with HTML with a salary of $4,500 received 10 offers, then we would count him 10 times. If there were no offers, then he would not get into the statistics either.
The graph column is the total number of offers. This is not the number of vacancies, but an indicator of the level of demand. The more offers there are, the more companies try to hire such a specialist. 5k+ includes candidates with salaries >= $5,000 and < $5,500.
Median Salary Expectation – the weighted average of the market offer in the selected specialization, that is, the most frequent job offers for the selected specialization received by candidates. We do not count accepted or rejected offers.

NFT in crypto
An NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is a unique asset on a blockchain that signifies ownership of a digital piece of art, audio or video file. In contrast to mass-produced cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin which can be traded interchangeably, NFTs represent unique units that cannot be passed off as identical products; you cannot exchange your Eminem NFT for another: it is non-fungible and unique. NFTs can act as registration certificates that create a digital chain of ownership, although proof of ownership alone does not equate to actual ownership.
As NFTs have sprung up and blossomed lately, they’ve started to radically shift the paradigm of what it means to own digital goods and the inherent value they carry. This has also given rise to hundreds of NFT marketplaces – essentially, websites that serve as digital storefronts to exhibit, trade, or buy NFTs. The technology behind them seems to have found a niche, and it’s got wide-ranging applications.
What are NFT marketplaces?
These are where NFTs can be stored, displayed, traded, and often even minted (ie, created). NFT marketplaces are to NFTs what Amazon or eBay are to goods.
To access and use these types of marketplaces, you will want to set up the following:
- A crypto wallet: you’ll need this to hold your crypto tokens, essentially your digital wallet, which must be compatible with a network on which the NFTs you want to buy/sell are held (below). For example, if you’re planning on buying, selling, or minting NFTs that are based on the blockchain network called Ethereum, then you will need to get a compatible Ethereum wallet such as MetaMask.
- How many coins are in your virtual wallet? If you want to purchase, publish, or mint an NFT, you’re going to have to put some money into your crypto wallet. Once again, it depends on what marketplace you’re planning to use – you’ll need to find out which cryptocurrencies they support.
- A user account: You need to create an account on the chosen market where NFTs are being bought and sold.
However, creating and listing an NFT on a marketplace generally means paying a blockchain network fee. The cost depends on the blockchain-native system you’re using. Ethereum enables the largest ecosystem of NFT dapps (decentralized applications) but has the highest fees.
NFT blockchain options
Note how the leader here is Ethereum: it is by far the most used system for purchasing selling and creating unique items that are solely held digitally. There are, however, other competitors on the market too: note the following:
- Binance Smart Chain
- Flow (by Dapper Labs)
- Tron
- EOS
- Solana
- Polkadot
- Tezos
- Algorand
- Cosmos
- WAX
How do these marketplaces work?
Signing up
Joining an NFT marketplace will look slightly different from site to site, but in general, you just need to create an account (or ‘sign in’ using one that you already have) or you might be able to just use a wallet that the NFT marketplace supports (or a new one you created for the purpose). You’ll be directed to a page where you Connect your wallet. Once your wallet is connected, you’ll be prompted to enter your wallet password (if it’s not auto-filled) to complete the process.
Buying an NFT
NFTs are bought outright for a certain price, through an auction, or (in some cases) presented to a specific owner and another bidder may make a bid in an attempt to acquire the asset at a lower price.
Selling an NFT
Selling is more technically complicated, especially for someone selling an NFT they’ve created themselves (an artwork, a soundtrack, a tweet, etc).
It means that you have to upload this individual digital asset to the platform and add a fixed price on it, or let the buyer bid for it during an auction.
Then the asset will be verified by the platform and can be listed for sale.
When the seller agrees with a bid, the marketplace executes the transfer from the buyer to the seller.
Minting an NFT
A potential first step toward minting an NFT might be Ethereum, which remains the most prominent system on which such tokens are used. You need an Ethereum wallet with native support of ERC-721 (the Ethereum token standard underpinning NFTs). One such wallet is MetaMask or also Trust Wallet or Coinbase Wallet. You also need to stash about $50-$100 of ethers in your wallet to cover transaction costs (the higher the network congestion, the steeper the fees).
After doing so, you can then begin using OpenSea, Rarible, or any other such platform. Usually, to open the dashboard where you can start minting, you’ll press a button in the top-right corner that reads ‘Create’ or similar.
Types of NFT marketplaces
Within this ecosystem, there are different types of marketplaces: the universal types, like OpenSea, are the most general, the art-focused ones are specialized, and then there are niche ones that list specific traits of non-fungible assets, such as in-game items, digital collectible cards, or virtual real estate.
Here are some popular universal and digital art-oriented NFT marketplaces currently available:
- OpenSea: The most established universal NFT marketplace is here at OpenSea, where you’ll find non-fungible tokens representing ownership of things as diverse as art, sporting collectibles, virtual worlds, trading cards, and domain names.
- Rarible: purchasing it enables replicated purchasing by others below it on the chain It’s an NFT marketplace where you or anyone else can make an NFT on one of three different blockchains, either Ethereum, Tezos, or Flow.
- SuperRare: A similar market is online at SuperRare, which specializes in digital art and works only with a handful of concept artists. Each work on sale is a unique one-of-one NFT.
- Nifty Gateway: Nifty is one of the biggest marketplaces for NFT objects. There you will find artwork from prominent artists, including the owner of the record for the most expensive NFT sold at $69 million – Beeple, and the electronic music producers Steve Aoki and deadmau5.
These are all things that could be swept up in the definition of an NFT. Still, for niche digital goods such as virtual world avatars or digital trading cards for games like fantasy football, there is a distinctly growing number of platforms vying for the attention of each digital market there – but the majority of retail NFT sales are still conducted on five platforms:
- NBA Top Shot: an NFT marketplace on Flow for buying and selling digital collectible cards of videos of memorable NBA ‘moments’.
- Axie Infinity: These are based around a digital game called Axie Infinity, in which people breed, battle, and trade cartoon pets called ‘Axies’, and in which some play professionally for a living.
- Sorare: tokens representing football players you can use in the fantasy football game Sorare.
- Decentraland features an in-house marketplace where players can buy and sell virtual land, in-game items such as wearables, and other digital experiences.
- Treasures: A website that lets users tokenize a tweet and then sell it as an NFT. For example, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey sold his first tweet for $2.9 million.

Quick Facts about HTML
HTML's Baby Steps: Born in '90!
Imagine a world without websites; scary, right? Well, cue the trumpets because in 1990, Sir Tim Berners-Lee saved us from this dystopian future. With the first-ever version of HTML, he planted the digital seed that blossomed into today’s internet jungle. A physicist by day, web-hero by night—Sir Tim authored HTML while working at CERN, and like a proud parent, watched it go from cry-it-out loud to full sentences.
The HTML Evolution: More Faces than a Shapeshifter
HTML has more versions than you have socks in your drawer. Starting from that initial release, it rocked the ‘90s with rapid growth, dishing out HTML 2.0 in 1995, and by 1999, HTML 4.01 arrived with a bang. Just when we thought it might settle down, HTML5 strutted in in 2012, flaunting its multimedia muscles and saying 'no thanks' to third-party plug-ins. Each version was like a surprise episode in your favorite drama series.
The Syntax that Broke the Mold: HTML5
HTML5 wasn't just another upgrade; it was the maverick that rewrote the rulebook in 2012. It brought us video and audio tags, making embedding multimedia as easy as pie—no more fiddling with external players. Then it introduced canvas, unleashing a storm of on-the-fly graphics madness. Here, take a peek at the genius simplicity:
<video src="cat_videos_are_awesome.mp4" controls>
Sorry, your browser seems to be stuck in the 90s and doesn't support video tags.
</video>
<canvas id="epic_graphical_adventure" width="800" height="600">
If you're reading this, update your browser to join the fun!
</canvas>
Remember how cool you felt ditching those clunky plug-ins? That's HTML5 for you – it turned the 'hard stuff' into a walk in the park!

Vanilla JavaScript
Alright, let's kick it off with the backbone of web interactivity – good ol' JavaScript – no fancy sauces, no sprinkles, just the script in its purest form. JS is like that one friend who brings the party to the lifeless HTML-CSS get-together. It turns dull static pages into a dynamic carnival of user engagement — think pop-ups, form validation, and those addictive little games that keep you from doing actual work. Cue the code snippet:
document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = 'Hello, JavaScript!';
CSS3
If HTML is the skeleton of a webpage, CSS is the wardrobe stylist glitching with rainbow gradients and hover effects that nobody really asked for but everybody secretly loves. It's what makes the website go from a 90s GeoCities page to a smooth, modern digital marvel that looks good even on your grandma's iPad. Let the fashion show begin:
#awesome-box {
border-radius: 10px;
background: linear-gradient(to right, #ff758c, #ff7eb3);
}
HTML5
HTML5 is the latest evolution of the standard that's as essential as coffee on a Monday morning. It's still the same old Hypertext Markup Language, but with more muscle and a cooler hat – now with built-in video and audio elements, local storage, and canvas for those who like to scribble on the web. Here's a classic line:
<video controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.

class HelloMessage extends React.Component {
render() {
return <div>Hello {this.props.name}</div>;
}
}
Node.js
With Node.js, JavaScript graduates from the browser and says 'Hello world!' as a back-end language. It's like when a child actor grows up and ends up with a surprisingly decent career. Node.js runs on the V8 engine and chews through server-side tasks with non-blocking, event-driven architecture so smoothly, it could moonlight as a jazz musician.
const http = require('http');
http.createServer((req, res) => {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end('Hello, Node.js!');
}).listen(3000);
Angular
Put on your boxing gloves; it's time to step into the ring with Angular, the TypeScript-based hero from Google's training camp. This all-inclusive framework is like the all-you-can-eat buffet of the web dev world – it provides the plates, the food, and even the digestive enzymes to cope with complex single-page applications. It's an MV-something architecture that'll have you binding data like you're making a magic spell.
<div ng-app="" ng-init="firstName='John'>
<p>Name: <input type="text" ng-model="firstName"></p>
<p>You wrote: {{ firstName }}</p>
</div>
Vue.js
Welcome to Vue.js, the lightweight yet powerful framework that proves you don't have to be heavy to pack a punch. Great for sprucing up old websites or crafting new ones, Vue makes data binding and component management as easy as pie – not to mention, it's as approachable as your friendly neighborhood barista.
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
message: 'Hello, Vue.js!'
}
});

Sass (Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets)
Tired of vanilla CSS? Sass will spice up your style sheets with more flavors than you thought possible. With its variables, mixins, and nesting, you can write CSS like it's a programming language – because, really, who wants to keep repeating themselves when they can sass it up instead?
$primary-color: #333;
body {
font: 100% $primary-color;
}
Webpack
Webpack is the Swiss watchmaker of JavaScript module bundlers. It takes all of your assets, such as JavaScript, images, fonts, and CSS, and packs them into neat little modules, optimizing along the way for max performance. It's like having a personal assistant who organizes your digital life better than Marie Kondo.
module.exports = {
entry: './path/to/my/entry/file.js',
};
