This chapter provides the big picture ,giving am overview of the pieces that we slowly dissect throughout the book and putting those pieces into historical perspective.
This chapter describes binary values-the way in which computer hardware represents and manages information. By making sure we have an understanding of binary values, we pave the way to understanding how computing systems use the binary number system to accomplish their tasks.
The data we need to store and manage on a computer must be represented a way that captures the essence of the information we care about, and it must do so in a form convernient for computer processing. This capter explores how we represent and store the various kinds of data a computer managers.
This chapter dances the fine line between computer science and electrical engineering, examining the most basic hardware elements in a computer. It explores how computer use electric signals to represent and manipulate those binary values.
This chapter will discribe the primary components of a computer that capitalize on the technologies of binary number system. These primary components are likes LEGO pieces; they can be combined to build a variety of different computers, just as LEGOs can form a variety of building.
We began this chapter with brief discussion of problem solving in general. We also introduced pseudocode, an artificial language designed for expressing algothms.
Now we take a step up in abstraction and talk about containers are called abstract data type (ADT), We know their properties and operations and we understand which types of values they can contain,but we have no information about their internal structure or implementation. And this is what we will learn.
This chapter explore the way in which an operating system manages computer resources. Just likes a policeman organizes the efficient flow of cars through an intersection, an operating system organizes the efficient flow of programs through a computer system.
This chapter explores some of the details of computer networks and a few of different unferlying technology of web and estabkishes a foundation of web-based principles on which all future technologies likesly will rely.
