Course Description:

You are about to start your computer science studies and want to prepare yourself? Then you should enroll in this course. In more than 6 hours I will teach you the most important basics, which will be discussed in the first months of your studies.This course is especially for people who have no experience in computer science. We will start with the 0's and 1's in a computer and then work our way step by step. At the end you will have understood how a CPU gets the task to add numbers from a computer program and how the CPU executes this task. In addition to the theory, the most important software tools will also be introduced. (like the Unix shell).

This course consists of the following topics:

Binary Numbers

Hexa-Decimal Numbers

MSB, LSB and Endianess

Binary Addition and Subtraction

One's and Two's Complement

Boolean logic and truth tables

Logical Gates

Bit Shifting and Masks

Integer

Floating Point Numbers

ASCII Characters
