Requirements
This video course has been brewing in the back of my mind
for 10 years if not more. I have used pieces of it to teach
friends, family and co-workers about basic computer concepts.
I found it very well received. Now that I am retired I have
the time to formally put together this video course. You will
learn about numeric systems from a historic view.
See how the binary number systems compares to the base ten
number system that you use in every day life. Once you
understand how base ten really works, understanding binary
becomes much easier, and the template falls into place.
can do complex things with simple ones and zeros.
Learn logic and or exclusive or. How different numbers
formats are stored, fixed point, binary coded decimal.
Learn to convert decimal to hex. See ASCII strings in
programs. and more. Do you know how Roman numerical work,
and why there were do not scale well. I cover logic
and look at several programming languages and how they
use bit an bytes and Boolean operations. While this is not
a course to teach you to program that would be a whole new
video series. But this give you a solid background of what goes
on under the hood of the computer. I enjoyed making this course
and hope if serves you well and you get enjoyment and education from it.
