Introduction to Informatics

The course is an introduction to modern computer science. It becomes presentation hardware (hardware), including data storage options, digital design and classic architecture of a computer system and basic operating principles. It demonstrates the role of software (Software) and analyzes the different types of software. He introduces the student to basic algorithmic thinking to the study of algorithms in pseudocode. Finally provides the basic knowledge of networks, the Internet and the Web
