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.

The origins of computer programming

Modern computers can process large amounts of data. Before the current computers we can only refer to the analytical machine of Charles Babbage; This machine performed calculations thanks to the rotation of gear wheels. Countess Ada Lovelace participates in the creation of Charles Babbage's analytical machine by decoding the language to make it work; US Department of Defense dedicates the ADA programming language in the name of the Countess.  The role of women in computer science  Apparently, the position of women in the history of computer programming seems to cut out only a marginal role; in reality, it is not so! As already mentioned in the previous paragraph; without the contribution that Countess Ada Lovelace left to the world of information technology; this science could be decades behind. The origins of computer programming languages  The origins of programming languages were determined by a mechanical and mostly experimental approach; with reference to the an...

Introduction to the JavaScript language

In this introduction to the JavaScript language we discover one of the programming languages that has changed the concept of understanding the Web. The added value of JavaScript to the HTML code is to make the Web page dynamic in its interactions with the user. JavaScript is a client-side web programming language. Web 2.0 was born with the JavaScript language. The advantages of the JavaScript JavaScript or "JS" in its abbreviated form; is the most widely used client-side scripting language on the web. The advantage of the JavaScript is that it can be interpreted by almost all browsers; while what has allowed a strong expansion is the availability of many frameworks and libraries that can be easily integrated into scripts. The language is unique in its kind for data exchange thanks to the asynchronous AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) functions that allow you to interact with users without reloading web pages and to exchange data in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) for...
