Computer Skills (COMP 105) Lecture #2 Concept of IT, Introduction to Computer, Hardware, and Software Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Outlines ✓Identify information,data and Knowledge. ✓Identify information Technology(IT). ✓What is a Computer? ✓Types of computer system. ✓Hardware & Software Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Data, Information and Knowledge Data: Facts and figures which relay something specific but which are not organized in any way and which provide no further information regarding patterns (unstructured facts and figures) Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Data, Information and Knowledge Information: it is data with relevance and purpose. For data to become information, it must be contextualized, categorized, calculated and condensed. (Processing) Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Data, Information and Knowledge Knowledge: Knowledge is closely linked to doing and implies know-how and understanding.(Processing Information) Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Data, Information and Knowledge Data: symbols Information: data that are processed to be useful; Knowledge: application of data and information; Processing data produces information, and processing information produces knowledge. Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Information Technology (IT) Information Technologies: are systems of hardware and software that capture, process, exchange, store and present information. Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Computer Computer: is a general purpose electronic device, programmable device that is used for the production and processing of information. Capable of calculating and storing results. computer can: 1. Accept data (input). 2. Process the data according to specified rules. 3. Produce information (output). 4. store the information for future use. Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Computers are Programmable Computers respond to instructions in the form of programs. Programs are written in order to make computers behave in specific ways i.e. word processor, systems control. Programs are stored in the Computer memory. Ms.Amal Alkhaldi How computers process information 1. Computers accept inputs ( i.e. data). 2. The input is translated into binary numbers and ‘processed’. 3. The process produces output (i.e. information) 4. This sequence can repeat: ✓outputs can be inputs. Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Computer Functionalities: Any digital computer carries out five functions in gross terms: 1. Takes data as input. 2. Stores the data/instructions in its memory. 3. Processes the data into useful information. 4. Generates the output. 5. Controls all the above four steps. Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Computer Functionalities: Input Output DATA Processing Information Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Components of a Computer System Computer Systems are made up of: Hardware – the physical parts of computer.

Input device translate data from form that humans understand to one that the computer can work with. Most common are keyboard and mouse. Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Input Devices: Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Central Processing Unit(CPU) CPU known as Microprocessor or processor It is responsible for all functions and processes. CPU Components: ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit):Executes all arithmetic and logical operations. Control Unit (CU) Memory Unit Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Primary Memory Unit RAM (Random Access Memory) :is a memory inside the computer system responsible for temporarily storing data so that the processor can promptly access it as and when needed. volatile: Data will be erased once the power to the storage device is turned off. Randomly stores and accesses. RAM is considered "random access" because you can access any memory cell directly if you know the row and column that intersect at that cell. Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Primary Memory Unit ROM (Read Only Memory): is a permanent form of storage. ROM devices do not allow data stored on them to be modified. stays active regardless of whether power supply to it is turned on or off. Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Secondary Memory Unit Stores data and programs permanently. It’s retained after the power is turned off. Main Examples: ✓Hard Disk ✓Optical Disk ✓Flash memory Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Output Unit An output device is any piece of computer hardware equipment used to communicate the results of data processing carried out by an information processing system (such as a computer) converts the electronically generated information into human- readable form. Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Output Devices: Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Software Computer Programs Instructions Data Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Software Software is a generic term for organized collections of computer data and instructions, often broken into two major categories two major categories: 1. System software (Known as Operating System) is responsible for controlling, integrating, and managing the individual hardware component of a computer system. Windows, , Mac OSX ,Linux Unix are an example of OS. Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Application software 2.Application software is used to accomplish specific tasks other than just running the computer system. It may consist of: A single program, image viewer; A small collection of programs (often called a software package) that work closely together to accomplish a task, spreadsheet or text processing system; A larger collection (often called a software suite) of related but independent programs and packages that have a common user interface or shared data format. Microsoft Office, Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Applications Software Concerned with the world outside the computer. Used for the things you want the computer to do. Common Examples - Word, Excel, Internet Explorer.

Introduction to Microsoft Excel 2. Excel Interface Agenda 3. The Ribbon 4. Manipulating Rows & Columns, Auto Fill & Worksheet, Alignment & Number Formatting Microsoft Excel Excel is a spreadsheet program developed by Microsoft, that consists of Workbooks. Each Workbook is made up of an infinite number of worksheets. It is possible to name each worksheet to aid in organizing your data. Excel Interface The Start Screen allows you to create a new document or choosing from pre-made templates. Blank Page Excel Sheet The Ribbon contains multiple tabs, each with several groups of tools. Formula It is used to express relationships between various quantities, such as temperature, mass in physics The ribbon Data Provides you with all the necessary commands to use and manage internal/external data connections. Excel Basics Excel spreadsheets organize information (text and numbers) by rows and columns: Rows are represented by numbers along the side of the sheet. Columns are represented by letters across the top of the sheet. Excel Basics A cell is the intersection between a column and a row. Each cell is named for the column letter and row number that intersect to make it. Excel Basics Excel allows for some basic actions which we have used before in other programs Copy/Paste (Rows, Columns, Cells, etc.) Insert (Rows and Columns) Sort (Alphabetically, Numerically, etc.) Excel Formating Merging allows us to combine two or more adjacent cells physically (disregarding contents) To merge cells simply highlight the cells to be merged and select the merge option from the home menu Cells can also be formatted with options (bold, font size, borders, etc.) Excel Formating Data Type in the numbers section of the home menu, select the number drop-down menu (defaults to General) and select the new type desired Excel Numeric Formating Excel Data entry 1. Type directly into the cell. 2. Type into the formula bar. Excel Cell Range A range is a rectangular group of cells Excel Auto Fill Auto Fill enables us to copy the contents of a cell or a range of cells by dragging the fill handle over adjacent cells or a range Excel Formulas Formulas are equations that perform calculations in your spreadsheet. Formulas always begin with an equals sign (=). When you enter an equals sign into a cell, you are basically telling Excel to “calculate this.” Excel Formulas Mathematical Symbols Excel Formulas Order of Precedence (operations) controls the sequence in which math operators are computed –Parentheses –Exponentiation –Multiplication and Division –Addition and Subtraction Excel Formulas Example Excel Formulas What is Auto Sum Tool? Automatically creates a formula to add a series of numbers in a spreadsheet Excel Formulas What is a Chart? Graphic representations used to compare & contrast worksheet data Excel Formulas Ascending Descending from A to Z from Z to A What is sorting?

Purpose of databases: Databases are used to store and manage data in a structured and organized manner, enabling users to access, update, and analyze information effectively. Database management systems (DBMS): DBMS are software applications that provide tools and interfaces for creating, managing, and interacting with databases, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle Database. Presenter : Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Tables, fields, and field types o Tables, Fields, and Field Types: Data in a database is stored in tables, which are similar to spreadsheets with rows and columns. Each table represents a specific entity or object, and the columns (fields) represent the different attributes or characteristics of that entity. Field types determine the kind of data that can be stored in each column, such as text, numbers, dates, or Boolean values. Presenter : Ms.Amal Alkhaldi entity Tables, fields, and field types attributes or characteristics Each table represents a specific entity or object, and the columns (fields) represent the different attributes or characteristics of that entity. Presenter : Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Primary keys o Primary Keys: o A primary key is a unique identifier for each row in a table, ensuring that each record is distinct and can be easily referenced. o Primary keys can be a single field or a combination of multiple fields. o Primary keys help maintain data integrity and enable the establishment of relationships between tables. Presenter : Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Primary keys o A primary key is a unique identifier for each row in a table, ensuring that each record is distinct and can be easily referenced. Presenter : Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Filtering, sorting, and relationships o Filtering, Sorting, and Relationships: o Filtering allows you to display only the data that meets specific criteria, hiding the rest. o Sorting arranges the data in a specific order, such as alphabetically or numerically. o Relationships define the connections between tables, allowing you to link and retrieve data from multiple tables simultaneously. Presenter : Ms.Amal Alkhaldi Forms, queries, and reports Forms, Queries, and Reports: Forms provide a user-friendly interface for entering, editing, and viewing data in the database. Queries are used to retrieve and manipulate data from the database based on specific criteria. Reports present the data in a structured and formatted layout, often for printing or sharing purposes.
