Learn to use the computer

Many people use the PC every day to connect to the network and to work but without knowing what the computer is and wondering how this is possible. We put a computer to work every time we buy with a credit card, withdraw from an ATM, pay a postal order, buy a train ticket, play video games and many other things. Understanding how the PC works inside is too much but starting from its components and the origins of  IT is already a good start.

Basic computer components

The computer is made up of several electronic components on printed circuits that interact with each other via micro pulses; if you want to learn how to use the computer, the main components of a PC are:
  • A central processing unit (CPU); the "processor" used to process active processes on the data before outgoing transmission.
  • RAM memories (random access memory) in which the bytes for processing are loaded; it is the dynamic memory of the computer and it is volatile;
  • A graphics processing unit (GPU).
  • ROM memory (read only memory); "permanent" read-only, it has a fixed content that cannot be deleted and therefore is not volatile; it contains the instructions that the CPU must load to allow the system to boot and the basic routines called BIOS (Basic I / O System);
  • the Cache; or in English Memory cache characterized by high speeds and has the function of accelerating accesses to the main memory by increasing the performance of the computer.
  • mass memory; the hard disk also known as hard disk, in English Hard disk performs the function of file storage.

The input peripherals of a computer

The input or input peripherals are used for data entry. The devices that are part of it are the keyboard, the mouse, the touch pad, the scanner, the optical pen, the touch screen and the microphone.

Computer output peripherals

The peripheral units of output, are the monitor, the printer, the audio speakers included as in laptops or added to PC desktop.

How to insert JavaScript into web pages

You have learned everything there is to know about HTML and CSS to start building your static website and now you would like to make it dynamic but you don't know how to insert JavaScript into web pages; right?

How to insert JavaScript into HTML file JavaScript need HTML file to work.  Like CSS all methods of inserting JavaScript into a Web Page can be divided into two sections; add the scripts inside the TAG of  HTML file or by calling them externally. In detail we can insert JavaScript: Directly into Body of the HTML file. In the Head Tag and recall it in the body. With a relative or absolute external reference. Insert JavaScript into HTML file We will see an example of how to insert JavaScript shortly but first let's focus on when it is useful to do an explicit or implicit ...

The syntax of the JavaScript language

Each programming language has very specific rules to follow and the syntax of the JavaScript language makes no exceptions; so if you want to learn how to program for the Web "client-side", you have to write the code correctly, otherwise, it cannot be interpreted by the Browser. JavaScript is a scripting language that makes a Web page dynamic; the script code must be inserted inside the HTML tags allowing the Browser to interpret it. The processing phase is carried out locally and not by the server, using the power of the PC; this as you can guess is more advantageous. Introduction to JavaScript Learning the syntax of JavaScript is the first step in working with the elements of the HTML language via ID; exploiting the objects of the DOM (Data Object Model) in the Browser. JavaScript allows us to make a web page interactive and dynamic but in detail, we can do: Mathematical calculations. Change the graphic aspects of a web page in real-time. Check the data in a form before it i...

The Java language

Initially, James Gosling 's Java language was called Oak; the lawyers pointed out that "oak" had already been recorded by others, so something else was chosen to give the language a name. The search method went from finding a suitable name for the language to one that wasn't; however time has disproved the method given Java's success. After some time, names suggested and then withdrawn, legend has it that the name Java was found in a coffee break in front of a hot and steaming cup of coffee from which the Java logo also derives. Introduction to the Java language The goal of the Java language has always been to create applications that adapt to various electronic devices; bypassing all the typical limitations of languages such as C and C ++ but maintaining the characteristics.  This choice also proved successful; because many programmers later started using the Java language, aided by their familiarity with their C background.  Networking A full range of ready-to-...
