Welcome : Welcome To Contact Capacity building development Program

Information Technology "IT” : Information Technology "IT” System / Computer Back Bone A Machine A Fast Calculator An Electronic Device An Intelligent Machine What? What is Computer ? An electronic device that stores, retrieves,and processes data, and can be programmed with instructions. A computer is composed of hardware and software, and can exist in a variety of sizes and configurations

Computer & its Revolution : Computer & its Revolution APPLICATIONS Banks ( Takes care of accounting ,On-line banking, Smart ID cards) Railway ( Reservation) Health Care Support ( Drug Stores, Hospitals) Commercial use( Printing, painting Drafting, typing) Navigation Defense Entertainment (Games) Film industry Automobile industry ;CAD Educational (School Mgmt. ,lab. ,Amiss.) Record Keeping Supermarkets Working from home (Tele-working) Discussion Supporting System Virtual Reality Environment (Simulation & Modeling) Video Conferencing Online Testing Internet(Web Surfing , Chatting ,e-Mail)

Historical Background : Historical Background After 1600 Calculations Relied on Brains Fingers, Pebbles or Tally Sticks (Digitus Lt. Fingers & Calcus pebble) 300 BC = ABACUS (Device) 1614 = Blaise Pascal (1623-62) (digital Calculator +,-) 1822= Charles Babbage (1792-1871) Analytical /Difference Engine 1840= Augusta Ada (Binary Data) 1850= George Bollen ( 0,1) Storage MILL I/O Control Unit Memory Control Unit ALU Modern Computer

Slide 5 :

Number System : Number System Decimal System Generate a Mental image How Many Numbers it represent 123 1*10**2+2*10**1+3*10**0 123.45 1*10**2+2*10**1+3*10**0+ 4*10**-1+5*10**-2

Number System : Number System Binary System Computers Use Binary Logic Voltage Level (0 & +5) So we use 0 & 1 Uses Power of 2 rather than 10 e.g., 1010 i.e., Each digit in string add 2**n where n is zero based position 1*2**3+0*2**2+1*2**1+0*2**0 8+0+2+0 =10 (base 10)

Data Organization : Data Organization Smallest Unit Bit ( 0 or 1) i.e., T/F,0/1,Y/N,ON/OFF,Right/Wrong NIBBLE takes 4 bits Byte Group of 8 Bits (0 bit lowest 7 is high order bit) Word Group of 16 bits Bit Positions = 2**n 256, 128,64,32, 8,4,2,1 MEMORY Main Memory Sec Memory Cache Memory

Memory : Memory How Computer Memory Is Measured ? Bit:- All computers work on a binary numbering system, i.e. they process data in one's or zero's. This 1 or 0 level of storage is called a bit. Byte A byte consists of eight bits. Kilobyte A kilobyte (KB) consists of 1024 bytes.(2**10) Megabyte A megabyte (MB) consists of 1024 kilobytes.(1048576) Gigabyte A Gigabyte is equivalent to 1024 Megabytes(~1 billion) 1- Kilo Bit =1024 Bytes i.e., 64 words(1 word 16 bits) Main Memory Secondary Memory Cache Memory RAM :(R/W Memory) Volatile,Random Access ROM : Non Volatile,Embeded Systems ,ROM Bios chip,N/W, CD,Serial Access

PROGRAMING :- “Set of Instructional “Code : PROGRAMING :- “Set of Instructional “Code High Level Easy To Learn Uses use defined word uses User interface e.g., APPLICATION PROGRAMING Data base ,C, C++, COBOL, JAVA etc. Multi Tasking System devices Low Level Machine To Learn Uses Assembler lang. Use System Core/Shell e.g., OS SYSTEM PROGRAMING Device Driver 8085,8086 Programming , Embeded System, IC.s SOFTWEAR

Networks : Networks Computer network connects two or more autonomous computers. The computers can be geographically located anywhere.

Slide 12 : LAN, MAN & WAN Network in small geographical Area (Room, Building or a Campus) is called LAN (Local Area Network) Network in a City is call MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) Network spread geographically (Country or across Globe) is called WAN (Wide Area Network)

Slide 13 : Applications of Networks Resource Sharing Hardware (computing resources, disks, printers) Software (application software) Information Sharing Easy accessibility from anywhere (files, databases) Search Capability (WWW) Communication Email Message broadcast Remote computing Distributed processing (GRID Computing)

Slide 14 : E-mail Searchable Data (Web Sites) E-Commerce News Groups Internet Telephony (VoIP) Video Conferencing Chat Groups Instant Messengers Internet Radio Applications of Networks

Slide 15 : Networking Devices HUB, Switches,Repeater, Routers, Wireless Access Points, Modems etc.

Slide 16 : Computer Viruses Computer viruses were named after their biological counterparts because of their similar traits A virus can spread into an epidemic A virus can cause inconvenience and suffering A virus passes from one entity to another “Virus programs, typically written in machine code, usually employ DOS commands to commandeer system resources that the virus must use.”

Slide 17 : Viruses are small programs that hide themselves on your disks (both diskettes and your hard disk). Unless you use virus detection software the firs time that you know that you have a virus is when it activates. Different viruses are activated in different ways. What are computer viruses?

Slide 18 : Viruses hide on a disk and when you access the disk (either a diskette or another hard disk over a network) the virus program will start and infect your computer. The worst thing about a computer virus is that they can spread from one computer to another, either via use of infected floppy disk ,CD, Pen driver, Memory Cards,I-pods or over a computer network, including the Internet Who do viruses infect PCs?
