The goal of this course is to provide a background knowledge on Computer Science. The student will learn how a computer works and its structure (hardware and software), the fundamental concepts of networking (Internet in particular), and essential notions of Computer Security. |
|
As a first course in Computer Science, no prerequisites are needed. |
- Learning computer terms
- Learning principles of computer inner working (hardware and software)
- Learning how computer networks work
- Learning threats and solutions of computer security
|
The computer in the modern age
Binary encoding in digital systems
Numerical and non-numerical information data
Computer architecture
Application software and operating systems
Computer networks
Computer Security |
|
The course is associated with a wealth of online documents, so textbooks are not required.
For further study (far beyond exam arguments) a good and comprehensive (and difficult) text is:
- J. Glenn Brookshear: Computer Science: An Overview, 11/E, Prentice Hall, McGraw-Hill |
|
Each video-lesson is associated with a numbero of exercises to self-evaluate the acquired knowledge. |
