What should a beginner IT/tester read?

Question

linux

A man at the age of 23 decided to try himself in IT. The level of PC use is 4 years under Linux, before that it took Windows a long time, but only as a user, recently I just learned how to install the necessary programs under Debian, before it was just somehow not necessary. I decided that I wanted to try my hand at software testing. Question: where is it better to start, so as not only to learn, but also not to lose interest? So far, he advised me to get to know Linux better (you need to know your environment, the OS device), learn at least one programming language (Python, will put your head in order, for future automation) and start reading Savin. Do you have any specific thoughts on this?

Hello, topikstarter. It is strange that you are interested, and not the person himself.
"The level of PC use is 4 years under Linux, before that Windows took a long time, but only as a user, recently I just learned how to install the necessary programs under Debian, before it was just somehow not necessary."
What was the purpose of moving to Debian?
"I decided that I want to try my hand at software testing. The question is: where is the best place to start so that you don't just learn, but also don't lose interest?"
The very process of testing at the start is boring, clicking on buttons, writing bug reports, analyzing logs, running autotests. More needs to be done with experience.
You need to start by studying testing tools (thousands of them, from automating clicks using Selenium to integration tests using Jenkins)
"For the time being, I advised you to get to know Linux better"
and why, if a person will work / test on Linux?
", (you need to know your environment, OS device),"
Only for general development if
"learn at least one programming language (Python, will put your head in order, for future automation)"
Python will be good to start, then you need to look that the person wants to test.
and start reading Savin. "
And who is this?
"Do you have any specific thoughts on this?"
1) Decide exactly on the field of activity
2) Look at the requirements for starting positions
3) Evolve to meet these requirements.

Answer 2

A man at the age of 23 decided to try himself in IT.

You are wrong.
If he had made up his mind, he would have taken some action.
In the meantime, you, in the role of mommy, are fussing over him.

Question: where is it better to start, so as not only to learn, but also not to lose interest?

How can something that doesn't exist disappear?
