    Study Notes

    Cloud Computing

    • Cloud computing provides software and storage as an internet service, accessible with a web browser.
    • Businesses benefit from cost savings in system design, installation, maintenance, and product/service launches, along with increased efficiency and remote access.
    • Public cloud computing involves a service provider owning and managing infrastructure while organizations access shared hardware resources online.
    • Data security is a significant concern in public cloud computing due to reliance on third-party safeguarding.
    • Cloud computing services are categorized into three main types: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and Platform as a Service (PaaS).

    Operating Systems

    • Operating systems utilize multitasking, multiprocessing, and multithreading to enhance processing efficiency.
    • Not all operating systems support all task management approaches—for example, Windows, macOS, and general-purpose Linux lack support for real-time processing.
    • File management involves the OS managing file and folder storage on devices using the “file system”, tracking file locations and access permissions.
    • Memory management governs data storage in main memory by swapping data between RAM and disk, ensuring programs receive necessary memory without interference.
    • Operating systems facilitate network communication, enabling data exchange and resource sharing among networked computers. Servers often have operating systems optimized for networking.
    • User Interfaces (UIs) allow interaction with computer systems: command-line interfaces (CLI) require text commands, while graphical user interfaces (GUI) use icons and menus.

    Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)

    • IDEs offer an integrated package of tools essential for software engineering: code editors, compilers, debuggers, version control integration, and simulators/emulators for mobile app development.
    • Common IDEs include Xcode, Visual Studio, and Eclipse.
    • Mobile development IDEs provide simulators/emulators for virtual device testing, like Android Studio’s emulator and the Xcode Simulator for iOS.

    Software Development Kits (SDKs)

    • SDKs are collections of tools, libraries, and documentation that support application development for specific platforms.
    • They are commonly offered by hardware, software, and cloud companies.
    • Examples include Apple’s macOS SDK, iOS SDK, and watchOS SDK, as well as SDKs for Java: Android SDK, Apache Tomcat, AWS SDK for Java, Google Cloud SDK for Java, and Microsoft Azure SDK for Java.

    Artificial Intelligence (AI)

    • AI endeavors to automate tasks typically requiring human intelligence, encompassing fields like robotics, natural language processing, and computer vision.
    • Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI that enables computers to learn from data without explicit programming.
    • ML relies on data and algorithms, where data serves as the foundation for learning, and algorithms provide the structure for machine learning.
    • ML encompasses various types, including supervised learning and generative learning (Generative AI).

    Supervised Learning

    • Supervised learning is a type of ML where the model is trained on labeled data.
    • The goal is to learn a mapping from input to output.
    • The process involves training data with input-output pairs, model training to predict output based on input, and prediction for new inputs.
    • Applications include image classification and predicting house prices based on features.

    Supervised Learning: Applications

    • Supervised learning has numerous applications:
      • Spam detection
      • Medical diagnosis
      • Fraud detection
      • Financial forecasting

    Supervised Learning: Example of Training Data

    • Training data in supervised learning consists of input-output pairs, e.g., images paired with their corresponding categories.

    Supervised Learning: Acquiring Data

    • Data for supervised learning can be obtained through manual labeling, observing user behavior, or downloading from online sources like Hugging Face Datasets and Kaggle.

    Summary

    • The OS is crucial to computer operations, handling data input, processing tasks, and displaying results.
    • Organizations rely on off-the-shelf software for common needs and develop custom software for specific requirements.
    • Cloud computing has revolutionized software development by offering scalability, flexibility, and global access, facilitating innovation and adaptability.
    • Machine learning extends software development by integrating adaptive, data-driven models into traditional rule-based systems, enabling learning and evolution over time.
