Artificial intelligence or Web / Application development?

Hey Folks,

How are you?

Worried about what to choose path for your career?! Don't worry I will try to help you make your decision better.

First we will try to get basic understanding about both the fields.

1. Artificial Intelligence

Sounds interesting! This is the field of computer science which is based on machine learning and deep learning. This is used to perfrom some tasks without human intervenstion. This include speech recognition, problem solving and planning. Machines are made to think like humans by learning some algorithms.

Applications of AI:

1. Self-Driving and Self-Parking Vehicles
2. Digital Assistants (alexa, siri, etc)
3. Whether Predictions
4. Robots etc

The things which you need to learn for becoming an AI Engineer are:

• Python and its libraries
• Data Visualizarion
• Data Analysis
• Natural Language Processing
• Machine Learning
• Data Mining
• Neural Networks and Computer Vision

You need to develop good analytical and mathematical skills as this learing involves some mathematical formulas to get the algorithm implemented.

2. Web / Application Development

Development is interesting! This involves creativeness and attention to details. You have to design websites and mobile apps. The websites we browse the apps we use are develped by various web / application developers.It is a very diverse field and involves various roles like Web Developement with different frameworks, Android Development and iOS Development.

Web / App Development involves:

1. Frontend Development
2. Backend Development
3. UI / UX Designing

The things which you need to learn for becoming an Web Developer are:

• HTML
• CSS
• JavaScript
• React.js / Angular.js / Vue.js any of these frameworks
• Node.js for backend
• MongoDB
• Redux & many more

The things which you need to learn for becoming an Application Developer are:

App developers are for both Android & iOS

• Java
• Kotlin
• Swift
• Objective C
• Flutter
• React Native etc

In this developement you don't need to be good at maths rather you should be good at design and developement. Key point in development is practice, the more you build the more you get expertise in the developing.

Verdict

There is noting like AI id good or development is good, both hold their positions very well and have good career opportunities too. You need to just think and try the basics of both of them to get a clear understanding. Trying that will help you to come on an end decision, what's your cup of tea and and in what field you can be comfortable pursuing your carrier.
