>> One way to further your career in IT is
to design your own application for mobile devices.
All the major platforms offer tool kits
to help get your app off the ground.
All you need to bring is your inspiration.
>> A technique that I have for someone interested
in IT would be App development.
An app is an application, something that a user installs
and runs on their device.
There's all kinds of apps being developed now
for mobile devices.
There's all kinds of different mobile platforms out right now.
They've all got these software development kits
out that are free.
You can download and start writing apps.
If you were to create an Apple app, maybe an app for the iPhone
for example, you would go to the software development kit website
that Apple has and download that.
It's called an SDK download.
Download that SDK and install that SDK on your machine.
These development kits typically have really nice simulators
built into them, so you don't even have to have an iPhone
to develop, write an iPhone app.
Google's got their app SDK.
Microsoft's got an SDK.
The app market is huge.
We're looking at about 3 billion dollars now
and growing day by day.
And there's just more and more apps being developed,
more and more apps being sold.
The future of apps is really just, just starting.
We're going to see all kinds of apps develop for all kinds
of things that we can't even imagine today.
But you don't have to be in a populated place.
You don't have to live in Silicon Valley.
You can do this from anywhere, any place, any time,
so a lot of opportunity.
