Welcome back!

Introduction:

This course starts with an introduction to computing, then talks about computer organization and architecture, and goes into different storage concepts like bits, main & mass memory, information representation, numbering systems, Boolean operations, gates, Boolean circuits, then demonstrate a proposed machine language/instruction set, it also talks about some traditional programming concepts, procedures & functions, and implementation (translation, linking, and loading), after that it shows the algorithm representation & discovery techniques, flowcharting, pseudo coding, iterative structures, at the end it introduces C Programming, starting with formatted input/output in C language, expressions in C language, one-way, two way, & multiple-way selections in C.

The lab gives an idea about computer architecture, HW & maintenance, it demonstrates some major DOS commands, Windows Interface, Files & Folders, Internet, Email, & Web Search, there is also a part dedicated to MS Office: Word/Excel/PowerPoint/Access/Visio, and at the end there is some lab works for writing C Programs with MS Visual Studio 6.0, mainly formatted input/output, and so on.
