Course Introduction Course Code: CS-1101 Course Title: Introduction to Computing

Course Description This course focuses on a breadth-wise coverage of computer science discipline, introducing computing environments, general application software, basic computing hardware, operating systems, desktop publishing, Internet, software applications and tools and computer usage concepts; Introducing Software engineering and Information technology within the broader domain of computing, Social issues of computing.

Course Objectives A clear understanding of computers and computing environment Developing sufficient knowledge for all the concerned domains of computer science like software engineering and information technology Development and readiness of understanding for more advanced courses like networks, operating systems, database management, algorithms in the upcoming semesters with a brief overview of their contents

Course Strategy No pre-requisites (any students coming from any background can easily grasp the contents) However, you need to understand each and every concept clearly and undoubtedly as that would be your foundation.

Course Duration 01 Semester 16 Weeks Long Each Week will have 02 Lectures A total number of 30 Lectures

History of Computer Idea behind computer Charles Babbage (1791-1871): “Father of Computers”. In 1837 Gave idea to ‘stored program’ general-purpose computer Invented Difference Engine and Analytical Engine A programmable, mechanical machine Carry out any kind of calculations Make decisions based on the calculations of previous calculations Input  Process  Ouput Components Not Built till 1940 as ‘Harvard Mark-1’

History of Computer Ada, Countess of Lovelace Assisted Charles Babbage in writing a program for his machine Wrote a program for computing the Bernoulli’s sequence on the Analytical Engine world’s 1st computer program
