Programming is everywhere these days. In the job market now recruiting for high skilled programmers is one of the leading boards. At some point it's almost as a hype, since in school currently they start learning programming with Scratch. Of course it's hot since nowadays everything is digital. And NOT just the Web. Electronics use it,..robotics.
Though I think web design is a thing in the past (way too many free services online that out-stand the regular designer) and the good job ads now require higher skilled professionals.
I, personally think it will shift within 20 years, we are going to have way more programmers and lack professionals in other fields.
