Difference between Computing and Information Technology support.

    Hey guys, I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what the difference between these two courses are, and which one is best suited for me.

    After deferring Information Technology in 2014, I took on a computer maintenance course in colaiste stiofain naofa and so far I really enjoy it. Especially the hands-on hardware side of it. For me the computing course looks a lot more software based, like coding and programming and what not, and to be honest I don't think I want to get into that (Although I do enjoy Web development). I could be wrong about this but would I be right in saying that Information Technology is hardware focused and Computing is Software focused? I think i'd rather working on hardware but I also don't want to miss out on web development :( I'm a small bit confused to be honest. Could someone please explain what the difference between the two courses are? Thanks in advance.
