In the era of artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots, based on large language models that can generate programming code in any language, write texts and summarize information, it is obvious that the requirements of employers for graduating students have already changed. The modern IT world offers significant automation of programming through software frameworks and a huge set of third-party libraries and application programming interfaces (APIs). All these tools provide most of the necessary functionality out of the box (already implemented), and quite naturally the question arises as to what is more useful for students - to teach how to use these ready-made tools or the basic principles of working and development of web applications from scratch. This paper analyzes the results of a survey conducted among IT employers, aimed to identify what, in their opinion, are the necessary technical skills that graduating students in the field of Web Programming should possess in order to join the company's work as quickly and effectively as possible.
