How I Would Start Getting Into IT (Development, Testing, Data Science, Cybersecurity, etc.) in 2025 from Scratch: **Immersion in the Info Field.** I would start actively immersing myself in the informational landscape of the chosen area: subscribing to all relevant channels on Telegram, registering on specialized forums, subscribing to YouTube channels and other media. **Finding Experts.** I would identify the most active participants in these communities: they usually write articles, produce videos, and actively comment. Their activity clearly shows that they are experts in their field. **Building Social Connections.** I would try to establish social contacts with people from point 2. I wouldn’t send private messages like “Hi! How are you? Let’s be friends!”, but instead, I would engage actively nearby: commenting on posts, participating in discussions, and occasionally asking expert questions. **Maximum Engagement with Materials.** I would start reading as many articles and posts on the topic of interest as possible. At first, it might be a jumble of unfamiliar words, but over time, a general picture will start to form. You need to read a lot: after reading one article, look for several others that explain the unfamiliar terms from the first, and so on in a circle. **Result:** After some time, you will already have a decent understanding of the field that you previously knew nothing about a couple of weeks ago. You will have a list of experts you can ask questions to. And, with a basic picture in mind, you can easily decide whether you need courses (and which ones), or if it’s enough to continue with point 4 to gradually gain a full understanding of the area you’re interested in.

Summary

The article outlines a strategic approach for beginners aiming to enter the IT industry in 2025, focusing on areas such as development, testing, data science, and cybersecurity. The first step involves immersing oneself in the chosen field by subscribing to relevant channels on platforms like Telegram, engaging with specialized forums, and following YouTube channels to stay updated with industry trends. Identifying active experts within these communities is crucial, as their articles, videos, and comments indicate their expertise. Building social connections should be done through active participation—commenting on posts, engaging in discussions, and asking questions—rather than superficial outreach. The core of the learning process is maximum engagement with educational materials: reading numerous articles, understanding unfamiliar terminology, and following related content to build a comprehensive knowledge base. Over time, consistent effort leads to a solid understanding of the field, a network of experts, and clarity on whether formal courses are necessary or if self-study suffices. This method emphasizes gradual, immersive learning to transition from novice to knowledgeable in the IT domain efficiently.
