Introduction to Computing 0702101
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.
