MICROSOFT POWER POINT!

I think everybody knows about Microsoft power point, no, ok,I  mention you  as I know that Microsoft power point is is a full-featured desktop presentation program. It is part of the
Office suite and can be purchased separately. A presentation can be a collection of slides
relating to a specific topic, which may be shown while the topic is discussed or may be
shown as a continuous show. From the presentation slides, handouts, speaker notes, or
outlines can also be prepared. PowerPoint contains graphic tools and many kinds of
pictures and graphs to be imported. A Macintosh version is available which functions
almost identically to the Windows version. Presentations created in either platform can
be run from the other, without any conversion needed.
this session also was very good, I made so many many presentations. Firstly we started that to make presentation about FACEBOOK. After that lecturer gave us homework to make presentations whatever we like. If I say truly I made so many funny  presentations and videos. 

MICROSOSFT EXCEL !

Microsoft Excel is a commercial spreadsheet application written and distributed by Microsoft for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. It features calculation, graphing tools, pivot tables and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications. With its powerful functions, Excel has been a very widely applied spreadsheet in many fields.
This article shows some example on What is Microsoft Excel really used for?
In this session , we learn how to advance use excel these following points. 

1. Manage data records like name list.

2. Used as an analytical tool

3. Create forms and consolidate results

4. Corporate Budgeting


5. Inventory Management

6. Finding Profit Breakeven

Of course, we made another many exercises, example of charts, diagrams, graphics,using pivot tables, Track changes and so on! Now I  know how to create and use excellently at Microsoft  Excel!

Microsoft Word 1

Microsoft Word is a non-free commercial word processor designed by Microsoft. It is part of the Microsoft Office Suite. Microsoft Word is currently the most common word processor on the market. Because it is so common, the .doc/.docx format has become the de facto format for text documents.


What is Microsoft Word used for

MS Word is a popular word-processing program used for creating documents such as letters, brochures, learning activities, tests, quizzes and students' homework assignments. There are many powerful features available in Microsoft Word to make it easier to learn for students with disabilities.
This session also was very helpful which we got new information or data about MS Word. At the end of class we did some exercises about it. We made about advertisement of hotel. I made it the second in the class after Situ Tun. But it was good for me. We made so many exercises during that session. thanks lecturer ! 


Microsoft Office !

  • Microsoft Office is a non-free commercial  office  suite of inter-related desktop applications, servers and services for the Microsoft  Windows and Mac OS Xoperating systems, introduced by Microsoft in August 1, 1989. Initially a marketing term for a bundled set of applications, the first version of Office contained Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel  and Microsoft Power point.
  • In addition, this session was very interesting and enjoyed by explanation of our lecturer. We did our group project very enjoyable activities thanks for all teacher 








Microsoft OS !

On August 12, 1981, IBM introduced its new revolution in a box, the "Personal computers" complete with a brand new operating system from Microsoft, a 16-bit computer operating system called MS-DOS 1.0.

What is an Operating System

The operating system or`OS is the foundation software of a computer, that which schedules tasks, allocates storage, and presents a default interface to the user between applications. The facilities an operating system provides and its general design exerts an extremely strong influence on the applications created for the computer.




IBM & Microsoft History

In 1980, IBM first approached Bill Gates of Microsoft , to discuss the state of home computers and what Microsoft products could do for IBM. Gates gave IBM a few ideas on what would make a great home computer, among them to have Basic written into the ROM chip. Microsoft had already produced several versions of Basic for different computer system beginning with the Altair, so Gates was more than happy to write a version for IBM.

NETWORK COMPONENTS!

Besides a physical medium, a network operation needs devices that are designed to handle certain network functions. The devices are often called networking devices or equipment and specifically referred to as network components in this guide. Each network component has a name that is related to its functions. For example, a network adapter works to "adapt" a computer message that is going to be sent to a network, to a format that is defined by the network.
A network component's functions may also be performed by a software application. For example, Windows XP provides built-in support for Network Bridging that handle a bridge's functions in a home network with mixed media. There are also built-in or add-on software applications that handle modem, router, or gateway functions. However, the software-only alternative is mostly suitable for small networks.

NETWORK


A network is a group of two or more computer systems linked together. There are many types of computer networks, including:

  • Local area networks (LAN) : The computers are geographically close together (that is, in the same building). such as a building or an office. 

  • Wide area networks (WAN) : The computers are farther apart and are connected by telephone lines or radio waves.

  • Campus area networks (CAN): The computers are within a limited geographic area, such as a campus or military base and so on.

  • Metropolitan area networks (MAN): A data network designed for a town or city.

  • Home area networks (HAN): A network contained within a user's home that connects a person's digital devices.

    TYPES OF COMPTERS!

    Computers range in size and capability. At one end of the scale are supercomputers, very large computers with thousands of linked microprocessors that perform extremely complex calculations. At the other end are tiny computers embedded in cars, TVs, stereo systems, calculators, and appliances. These computers are built to perform a limited number of tasks.

    The personal computer, or PC, is designed to be used by one person at a time. This section describes the various kinds of personal computers: desktops, laptops, handheld computers, and Tablet PCs.

    Desktop computers

    Desktop computers are designed for use at a desk or table. They are typically larger and more powerful than other types of personal computers. Desktop computers are made up of separate components. The main component, called the system unit, is usually a rectangular case that sits on or underneath a desk. Other components, such as the monitor, mouse, and keyboard, connect to the system unit.

    Laptop computers

    Laptop computers are lightweight mobile PCs with a thin screen. They are often called notebook computers because of their small size. Laptops can operate on batteries, so you can take them anywhere. Unlike desktops, laptops combine the CPU, screen, and keyboard in a single case. The screen folds down onto the keyboard when not in use.


    Handheld computers

    Handheld computers, also called personal digital assistants (PDAs), are battery-powered computers small enough to carry almost anywhere. Although not as powerful as desktops or laptops, handhelds are useful for scheduling appointments, storing addresses and phone numbers, and playing games. Some have more advanced capabilities, such as making telephone calls or accessing the Internet. Instead of keyboards, handhelds have touch screens that you use with your finger or a stylus (a pen-shaped pointing tool).


    Tablet PCs

    Tablet PCs are mobile PCs that combine features of laptops and handhelds. Like laptops, they're powerful and have a built-in screen. Like handhelds, they allow you to write notes or draw pictures on the screen, usually with a tablet pen instead of a stylus. They can also convert your handwriting into typed text. Some Tablet PCs are “convertibles” with a screen that swivels and unfolds to reveal a keyboard underneath.

    INTRODUCTION COMPUTER!

    What are computers?

    Computers are machines that perform tasks or calculations according to a set of instructions, or programs. The first fully electronic computers, introduced in the 1940s, were huge machines that required teams of people to operate. Compared to those early machines, today's computers are amazing. Not only are they thousands of times faster, they can fit on your desk, in your lap, or even in your pocket.


    Computers work through an interaction of hardware and software. Hardware refers to the parts of a computer that you can see and touch, including the case and everything inside it. The most important piece of hardware is a tiny rectangular chip inside your computer called the central processing unit (CPU), or microprocessor. It's the "brain" of your computer—the part that translates instructions and performs calculations. Hardware items such as your monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, and other items are often called hardware devices, or devices.


    Software refers to the instructions, or programs, that tell the hardware what to do. A word processing program that you can use to write letters on your computer is a type of software. The operating system (OS) is software that manages your computer and the devices connected to it. Two well-known operating systems are Windows and Macintosh operating system. Your computer uses the Windows operating system.

    The hardware are the parts of the computer itself including the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and related microchips and micro-circuitry,keyboards, case, monitors, and drivers  (hard, CD, DVD, floppy, optical, tape, etc...). Other extra parts called outlying components or devices include mouse, printers, modems, scanners, digital cameras and cars (sound, colours,  video) etc…… Together they are repeatedly  referred to as a personal computer. 

    INPUT AND OUTPUT DEVICES OF COMPUTER!


    In computing, input/output, or I/O, refers to the communication between an information processing system (such as a computer), and the outside world, possibly a human, or another information processing system. Inputs  are the signals or data received by the system, and outputs are the signals or data sent from it. The term can also be used as part of an action; to "perform I/O" is to perform an input or output operation. I/O devices are used by a person (or other system) to communicate with a computer. For instance, a keyboard or a mouse may be an input device for a computer, while monitors  and printers  are considered output devices for a computer. Devices for communication between computers, such as modems and network cards, typically serve for both input and output.
    INPUT DEVICES: Keyboard,microphone,mouse ,touchpa,touchscreen, webcam,light pen and so on. 

    OUTPUT DEVICES:Speakers, headphones, screen, printers,USB flash drive,plotters, digital camera. 

     Note that the designation of a device as either input or output depends on the perspective. Mouse and keyboards take as input physical movement that the human user outputs and convert it into signals that a computer can understand. The output from these devices is input for the computer. Similarly, printers and monitors take as input signals that a computer outputs. They then convert these signals into representations that human users can see or read. For a human user the process of reading or seeing these representations is receiving input. These interactions between computers and humans is studied in a field called human–computer interaction.
