The beginning
Welcome to my second blog post! Here’s a quick summary of what I’ll cover:
- My plans for the future
- What languages I want to focus on
- What direction I can see myself going
My Plans:
My current plans include completing my Cybersecurity degree in the next 2-3 years, I’m nearly halfway through my first year which involves programming, networking and IOT.
Alongside my studies I plan to take the Odin Project which will
further my knowledge in Web Development.
I then plan to go more into API and web security and work towards being qualified for a job in application security.
Languages
Due to my interest in web development, the most obvious answer is Javascript, seeing how the vast majority of websites on the internet are written in javascript or some sort of flavour such as typescript. Then there are millions of frameworks out there just like AstroJS which this website uses.
My next language probably won’t come as a surprise due to my cybersecurity education. My main language will be C and maybe some c++ however I think C will be able to do everything I need it to especially in the embedded world of which I have a few projects in mind.
The Future
Once I complete my B.Sc. in CyberSecurity, I plan to get more into more of a security role. Like mentioned before, something similar to Web App Security would be down my path. Completing the Security+ from CompTIA could be a big plus for my resume towards getting a role I enjoy and would love to pursue.
I will most likely be updating this blog post further as I advance in my future career, however thank you for reading this far down.
