5 most demanded IT directions for starting a career

The publication Science Alert chose five major, in his opinion, innovation, which will have the greatest impact on the technological scene next year.

All of them are still at the beginning of their development, and therefore it is not too late to take appropriate courses and become a sought-after specialist.

A virtual reality

VR appeared in the early 60's, but only recently accumulated enough potential to turn from a futuristic dream into reality. As soon as Facebook acquired Oculus for $ 2 billion, it became clear that this technology is the future. And so now is the time to start learning how to write code for virtual reality.

Machine learning

Methods of learning and predicting computer actions are now widely used in a whole range of areas, from autonomous transport to creating voice assistants like Siri. It is not surprising that specialists in this field are in high demand.

Ethical hacking

Many large companies take cyber defense in their own hands and offer a large reward to those who help them find vulnerabilities. To the mark, the same Facebook paid so-called "whitehats" more than $ 5 million for what they found and told the company about "holes in the defense."

Blockchain

The technology, which is usually associated with crypto-currencies, allows creating decentralized applications that have an increased degree of security and transparency.

Internet of things

IoT promises to combine all electronic devices into a single network with the ability to remotely control through applications. The most popular is the idea of ​​creating a "smart home" - when the alarm tells the coffee maker when it's time to cook the morning coffee, and the approaching car thermostat - that you need to warm up the floor to the return of the owners. The demand for professionals in this area is growing.

According to Alexey Potekhin, the operational director of "Netology", the principle of continuous education will prevail in the future. We need an ecosystem that allows people to enrich themselves with new knowledge and skills. It will be based on mixed training, great data and involvement in the process.
