Reviewing Classmate Blogs - Week 7

What interests me about IT and what doesn't

The IT area/subject I have most enjoyed is without a doubt software development, with web development trailing not far behind, this is because of the creative nature of development which is paired with problem-solving, this makes for me a really welcome combination in where I get to solve problems and express myself creatively. Other areas of IT are less creative in my opinion which feels like less icing on the cake.

The IT area/subject I least enjoyed is hard to pinpoint as I am rather diversified outside of software development but I believe the area I will be least likely to work in is most likely infrastructure due to the amount of success I have had in its problem-solving domain compared to development.

The one IT thing I never want to have to do again is ... well, nothing really, I have not done an IT task that has scared me off it forever, I remain open-minded to all tasks at this stage in my career.

I chose to study IT because I like to solve problems and this field is rich with many problems, I also grew up on computers, fixing my own and helping others. It is a natural progression for me.

If I couldn't study IT I would study astrophysics or a similar scientific field as I have a passion for the universe and living on the edge of what humanities current knowledge of our existence is.

When I was a kid I wanted to be a video game developer due to my heavy interest in video games. These days I still want to be a developer but not necessarily in video games.

One IT thing I would like to know more about is more advanced techniques and practices for mobile development, specifically the application of deep learning into the mobile application environment. I believe there is a great deal of potential for us to leverage here.
