Study Notes

Data and Information

Data that can only be accessed, modified, or copied by authorized individuals has integrity
Information is a collection of processed data from various sources
Knowledge is a dynamic combination of experience, values, contextual information, expert insight, and grounded intuition
Wisdom is knowing the right thing to do

Ethics and Programming

The Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility has developed the Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics
Structured programming involves using high-level control constructs like while loops, for loops, and if/else statements, but not primitive GOTO statements
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming language paradigm that structures code into reusable components
OOP can improve prototyping, extending functionality, refactoring, and maintenance of software

Programming Languages and Shells

A program is a set of instructions that process input, manipulate data, and output a result
Interpreted programming languages do not need to be compiled before execution
Compiled programs generally perform better, while interpreted languages offer benefits to programmers
A translator or language translation program converts text or speech from one language to another

Hardware and Components

Hardware refers to physical components of a computer system, such as monitors, keyboards, and CPUs
External hardware includes devices like gamepads, printers, and projectors
Internal hardware includes components like the motherboard, hard drive, and RAM
A component or part is a hardware unit that connects to and functions as part of a larger system

Power and Cables

A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) provides a backup power source in case of a power outage
A power cable is any cable that powers a device, such as a power cord or a Molex style cable
Data cables, like DVI, HDMI, or VGA, connect devices to a computer and allow data transfer

Hubs and Moore's Law

A hub is a hardware device that enables multiple devices or connections to connect to a computer
Moore's Law states that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles every two years, but has limitations due to miniaturization
