Key Concepts Included in This Course
To get started in information technology you need a baseline understating of some of the key concepts that drive this industry. In this course we cover many of the topics that freshmen students learn in college IT courses.
Database Management Systems
In this module, I will start with a discussion of relational databases, which make up the majority of products on the market today. Next, I will then briefly describe the basics of the Structured Query Language, or SQL. If you work for a large company, or a government agency, you will probably work with an extensive database that your organization runs and maintains. The necessary information in this chapter will give you the basics of how these systems work
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is one of the fastest growing areas of information technology today. Many companies and government organizations are moving large-scale systems from their own data centers, and into the cloud. What is the motivation behind this? Why would companies want to give up control of some of their vital systems, and move to the cloud? I will discuss this and many other issues related to cloud computing in this chapter.
Computer Networking
Computer networks allow systems to extend their reach and interact with other computers and users, on their local area network. If their network is connected to the Internet, then users will have access to software and services worldwide. Computer networking is a very important part of information technology. The demand for network hardware and services has exploded since the introduction of the Internet. In recent years, we have not only seen a huge growth in wired networks, but, with the worldwide adoption of cell phones, we have also seen an explosion in the growth of wireless networks.
