Working in IT has a number of attractive factors: good specialists are in demand, work remotely and build relatively free schedules, choose from a large selection of professions, and pick one of many programming languages. You should do the same with other branches of IT, as you must first understand them well before developing a technical career. <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have no doubt that your future should be connected with IT, here are a few steps to start your path.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Decide on the approach to learning programming languages<\/h3>\n

There are several approaches to learning programming languages:<\/p>\n

a. Conservative<\/strong>
\nStart by working through the basics. You will understand how technology and the field itself are developing.<\/p>\n

Advantages:<\/strong> You learn the technology stacks, master the theory, and know the methods of the work.
\nDisadvantages<\/strong>: It will take a long time to study, and the process itself is focused on theory, not practice.<\/p>\n

b.Modern<\/strong>
\nIdeologists of this approach are advised to study the language which you plan to use in the future.<\/p>\n

Advantages:<\/strong> It has a practical orientation of studying, and you can quickly find work and interesting projects.
\nDisadvantages:<\/strong> It will not be possible to choose alternatives for solving problems.<\/p>\n

c. Utopian<\/strong>
\nStart learning several programming languages at once in order to be able to operate with a small volume on each of them.<\/p>\n

Advantages:<\/strong> There are great opportunities for successful employment and the ability to quickly find an alternative.
\nDisadvantages:<\/strong> Your future is the middle level in programming. You will not become an inspirational creator or thorough expert in all selected programming languages.<\/p>\n

2. Decide on the sphere of future activities<\/h3>\n

If you are looking for a sphere that might be interesting, then here is a brief digest on where to move in the presented fields:<\/p>\n

a. Website development<\/strong>
\nWebsite development is a popular direction. It is simple and extremely accessible to learn html, and JavaScript will add page dynamics. It has a minimal set of skills for the front end; the back end can be based on PHP, Java, Python, and C #.<\/p>\n

b. Game development<\/strong>
\nYour choice is C ++, Java, C #, or Python.<\/p>\n

c. Application development<\/strong>
\nIf you dream of hundreds of users launching your application on a smartphone, then your friends are Java (Android), Swift, and Objective C (iOS). For desktop development, you can use C ++, Java, C #, and Python.<\/p>\n

3. Choose a programming language<\/h3>\n

Even among experienced developers, there is no single point of view on which programming language should be taught first. Some may initially aspire to work in complex languages of the C group, while others start with JS and gradually accelerate the pace. In order to avoid switching from one language to another, it is important to understand what tasks you want to solve with its help and what you generally strive for in IT development.<\/p>\n

When choosing a language (your main tool), you must consider certain criteria:<\/p>\n
