Fundamentals of Computers


  1. Binary Code
    1. Basic Machine Code
      1. Comes from Power
        1. It is like the food for computers
    2. Composed of 0's and 1's. 
      1. 0 = Off
        1. Bit
      2. 1 = On
        1. Bit
    3. There is 8 bits in a byte.
    4. Input (Source of Code)
      1. Java
      2. C++
      3. Pascal
    5. Process
      1. Compiler
        1. Entire program 
        2. Translates High Level Language to Binary
        3. Large Programs
      2. Interpreter
        1. Line by line
        2. Tells you exactly where there is an error
        3. Translates High Level Language to Binary
    6. Output (Object Code)
      1. 0,1
      2. Binary Code
      3. Machine Code
      4. 010101010011110111001000001111111000001111


My Perspective of Computer Architecture


  1. Languages
    1. Java Scripting Language 
    2. HTML
    3. Scratch
    4. Vague Idea
      1. Python
      2. Ruby on Rails
  2. I don't know the parts of the hardware at all
  3. I don't know how to computer works, but I know how to use various programs and applications such as Adobe and so forth.
