Computer Science Fundamentals Notes
Computer science is the study of computers and computational systems.
Hardware vs Software: Hardware is physical components, software is programs.
Programming Languages: C, C++, Java, Python are widely used.
Algorithms: Step-by-step procedures to solve problems.
Data Structures: Arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs.
Operating Systems: Manage hardware and software resources. Examples: Windows, Linux,
MacOS.
Databases: Systems to store and manage data. SQL is a standard language.
Networking: Communication between computers over LAN, WAN, Internet.
Cybersecurity: Protecting systems from viruses, malware, hacking.
Artificial Intelligence: Machines simulating human intelligence.
Machine Learning: Subset of AI where computers learn from data.
Cloud Computing: Providing services over the internet (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).
Software Engineering: Designing, building, and maintaining software systems.
Computer Architecture: CPU, memory, input/output devices.
Future Trends: Quantum computing, blockchain, advanced AI.
