WEB BROWSER

A web browser is a software application that enables a user to display and interact with HTML documents hosted by web servers or held in a file system.Text and images on a web page can contain hyperlinks to other web pages at the same or to different websites.Web browsers allow a user to quickly and easily access information provided on many web pages at many websites by surfing these links.

Web browsers available for personal computers include Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, Netscape and Opera. Web browsers are the most commonly used type of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) user agent. Although browsers are typically used to access the World Wide Web, they can also be used to access information provided by web servers in private networks or content in file systems.

EMAIL CLIENT

An email client is a computer program that is used to read and send email.

FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL (FTP) CLIENT

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client is used to connect two computers over the Internet so that the user of one computer can transfer files and perform file commands on the other computer.

Network Interface card

Short for Network Interface Card, a NIC is also commonly referred to as an Ethernet card and network adapter and is an expansion card that enables a computer to connect to a network such as a home network or the Internet using an Ethernet cable with a RJ-45 connector.

 RJ-45 connector.

• RJ45 (telecommunications), a connector used for modem connections

Straight cable

Cross cable

A crossover cable connects two devices of the same type, for example DTE - DTE or DCE - DCE, usually connected asymmetrically (DTE-DCE), by a modified cable called a cross link

What is the defference between Cross Cable and Straight Cable

 Straight and crossover cable can be Cat3, Cat 5, Cat 5e or Cat 6 UTP cable, the only difference is each type will have different wire arrangement in the cable for serving different purposes.

Straight Cable
Usually use straight cable to connect different type of devices. This type of cable will be used most of the time and can be used to:
1) Connect a computer to a switch/hub's normal port.
2) Connect a computer to a cable/DSL modem's LAN port.
3) Connect a router's WAN port to a cable/DSL modem's LAN port.
4) Connect a router's LAN port to a switch/hub's uplink port. (Normally used for expanding network)
5) Connect two switches/hubs with one of the switch/hub using an uplink port and the other one using normal port.
If you need to check how straight cable looks like, it's easy. Both sides (side A and side B) of cable have wire arrangement with same color.

Crossover Cable
Sometimes you will use crossover cable, it's usually used to connect same type of devices. A crossover cable can be used to:
1) Connect two computers directly.
2) Connect a router's LAN port to a switch/hub's normal port. (Normally used for expanding network)
3) Connect two switches/hubs by using normal port in both switches/hubs.
In you need to check how crossover cable looks like, both side (side A and side B) of cable have wire arrangement with following different color.
This cable (either straight cable or cross cable) has total 8 wires (or we can say lines), i.e. four twisted pairs (4x2=8) with different color codes. Right now just forget about color codes. It doesn’t matter what color is given to the cable (but there is a standard).

The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link several billion devices worldwide.

An intranet is a computer network that uses Internet Protocol technology to share information, operational systems, or computing services within an organization. This term is used in contrast to extranet, a network between organizations, and instead refers to a network within an organization. 

An extranet is a computer network that allows controlled access from outside of an organizations intranet. Extranets are used for specific use cases including business-to-business (B2B).

In computing, a firewall is a software or hardware-based network security system that controls the incoming and outgoing network traffic based on applied rule set. A firewall establishes a barrier between a trusted, secure internal network and another network (e.g., the Internet) that is not assumed to be secure and trusted.

A client is a computer program that, as part of its operation, relies on sending a request to another computer program(which may or may not be located on another computer). For example, web browsers are clients that connect to web servers and retrieve web pages for display. Email clients retrieve email from mail servers. Online chat uses a variety of clients, which vary depending on the chat protocol being used. Multiplayer video games or online video games may run as a client on each computer. The term "client" may also be applied to computers or devices that run the client software or users that use the client software.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing or networking is a distributed application architecture that partitions tasks or work loads between peers. Peers are equally privileged, equipotent participants in the application. They are said to form a peer-to-peer network of nodes.

Today, we were learning the definition and the function of operating system. An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is an essential component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function.
- Function

The basic functions of an operating system are:

1. Booting the computer
2. Performs basic computer tasks eg managing the various peripheral devices eg mouse, keyboard
3. Provides a user interface, e.g. command line, graphical user interface (GUI)
4. Handles system resources such as computer's memory and sharing of the central processing unit (CPU) time by various applications or peripheral devices
5. Provides file management which refers to the way that the operating system manipulates, stores, retrieves and saves data.

Different Types of Application Software

Word Processing Software: This software enables users to create and edit documents. The most popular examples of this type of software are MS-Word, Word Pad and Notepad among other text editors.

Presentation Software: The software that is used to display information in the form of a slide show is known as presentation software. This type of software includes three functions, namely, editing that allows insertion and formatting of text, methods to include graphics in the text and a functionality of executing slide shows. Microsoft PowerPoint is the best example of presentation software.

Spreadsheet Software: Excel, Lotus 1-2-3 and Apple Numbers are some examples of spreadsheet software. Spreadsheet software allows users to perform calculations using spreadsheets. They simulate paper worksheets by displaying multiple cells that make up a grid.

Database Software: Database is a structured collection of data. A computer database relies on database software to organize data and enable database users to perform database operations. Database software allows users to store and retrieve data from databases. Examples are Oracle, MSAccess, etc.

Multimedia Software: They allow users to create and play audio and video files. They are capable of playing media files. Audio converters, audio players, burners, video encoders and decoders are some forms of multimedia software. Examples of this type of software include Real Player and Media Player.

*Application software utilizes the capacities of a computer directly for a dedicated task. Application software is able to manipulate text, numbers and graphics. It can be in the form of software focused on a certain single task like word processing, spreadsheet or playing of audio and video files. Here we look at the application software types along with some examples of application software

  Describe the two types of software
Two types of software are application software and system software. Application software consists of programs that perform specific tasks for users, such as a word processing program, e-mail program, or Web browser. System software consists of the programs that control the operations of a computer and its devices. The two types of system software are operating systems and utility programs. An operating system (OS) is a set of programs containing instructions that coordinate all the activities among computer hardware devices. A utility program performs a specific task, usually related to managing a computer, its devices, or its programs.

 Cross-platform computing is becoming increasingly important as local-area networks become better at linking machines of different types.

In computing, booting (or booting up) is the initialization of a computerized system. The system can be a computer or a computer appliance. The booting process can be "hard", after electrical power to the CPU is switched from off to on (in order to diagnose particular hardware errors), or "soft", when those power-on self-tests (POST) can be avoided. Soft booting can be initiated by hardware such as a button press, or by software command. Booting is complete when the normal, operative, runtime environment is attained.

In the hardware storage which are divided into two group. First is the primary storage and the second is the secondary storage. Primary storage which are temporary  storage with the B.I.O.S setting (Basic Input/Output System) 
- Secondary storage:

 System & Application 
 A system software is any computer software which manages and controls computer hardware so that application software can perform a task. Operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X or Linux, are prominent examples of system software. System software contrasts with application software, which are programs that enable the end-user to perform specific, productive tasks, such as word processing or image manipulation.
 Application
Multiple applications bundled together as a package are sometimes referred to as an application suite. Microsoft Office and Open Office.org, which bundle together a word processor, a spreadsheet, and several other discrete applications, are typical examples. The separate applications in a suite usually have a user interface that has some commonality making it easier for the user to learn and use each application. And often they may have some capability to interact with each other in ways beneficial to the user. For example, a spreadsheet might be able to be embedded in a word processor document even though it had been created in the separate spreadsheet application.
Information Processing Cycle(IPC)

Input- text graphic
        - input data to computer system
Output - Result  * Center Processing Unit
                                    * text, number, sound, animation and video
                                    * computer screen, speaker and printer
Process -  Performing the result
Storage - The storage hold databases, files and programs.

* A Bit is represented by the number 1 and 0 = ( binary digit )
* Byte is a unit of information built from bits. One byte equal 8 bits

Today En.Z called us to download module 1. He also told us about a part of the ICT Tests. First, we have to scan virus and spyware in our computer and screen capture it. Follow that, print out that result. Spyware is the one that try to steal information from our computer.  In our computer will have a consultmant that hide inside the software. A firewall is a system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software, or a combination of both. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especially intranets. All messages entering or leaving the intranet pass through the firewall, which examines each message and blocks those that do not meet the specified security criteria.En.Z called us to use Microsoft security essentials. He also teach us about the cyber law. There are set of rules that if you go against you will be punished . The 1st rule is digital signature, 2nd is computer crime, 3rd is telemedicine , communication and multimedia . The third of the test was prepare the 5 slides of the impact of ICT and Society. 1st slides is title and the last slides is ending. The middle of the slides is about Education, Medicine and many but just 3 and give 2 example in each society. The due date of this slides is on 18 March. The last order by En.Z was choose any topic in Learning Area 1 and prepare 3 slides. We do it in pair and Zi Wei is my partner and we had choose a topic was Trojan horse. We are going to present it to those US ICT students . En.Z told us that the due of this assignment was on 4th March.
