IT for beginners - Understand the Digital World

Description

Explore the fascinating realms of information, number systems, data storing and manipulation, machine instructions, algorithms, programming, and artificial intelligence!

Throughout this course, you'll gain comprehensive insights into how a computer functions, the range of its applications, the means by which it accomplishes them, and the intricacies of its construction.

We'll delve into the conceptual and physical aspects of computers, helping you understand both the theoretical models and tangible mechanisms.

The course will show you how computers store and convert data, teaching you about different number systems such as binary, decimal, octal, and hexadecimal, and the conversions between them. You will understand why computers use zeros and ones to represent everything.

I will explain what is the phenomenon of the growing power of computers, how it is affected by minimization and miniaturization.

You'll be given a behind-the-scenes look into the software development process, offering you a glimpse into the day-to-day duties of a programmer, and the attributes that define a good programmer.

I will also discuss the physical and logical limitations of computers, helping you understand the tasks that computers excel at and those they struggle with, as well as the reasons behind these strengths and limitations.

Finally, the course will address the intriguing and popular yet often perplexing topic of artificial intelligence, demystifying its complexities.
