Computers consists of devices referred to as hardware (e.g., the keyboard, screen, mouse, hard disks, memory, DVD drives, and processing units).
Computers (i.e., hardware) process data under the control of sequences of instructions called computer programs.
These programs guide the computer through actionsspecified by people called computer programmers.
The programs that run on a computer are referred to as software.

Computer Organization Input unit: the receiving” section that obtains
information (data and programs) from input devicesand places it at the disposal of the other units for processing
Output unit: the “shipping” section that takes information the computer has processed, and places it on various output devices to make it available for use outside the computer
Memory unit: the rapid-access, relatively low capacity “warehouse” section that retains information that has been entered through the input unit, making it immediately available for processing when needed.

Bits The smallest data item in a computer can assume the
value 0 or the value 1. It is called bit (short for “binary digit”).
Characters Decimal digits (0-9), letters (A-Z and a-z) and special
symbols (e.g., $, @, %, &, *, (, ), -, +, “, :, ? and /) are known as characters.
The computer’s character set is the set of all the characters used to write programs and represent data items.

Characters C# supports various character sets including Unicode
and ASCII. Unicode supports many of the world’s languages, as
well as emojis. ASCII (American Standard Code for Information
Interchange) is the popular subset of Unicode that represents uppercase and lowercase letters of the English alphabet, digits and some common special characters. See Appendix C for more information.

Fields A field is a group of characters or bytes that conveys
meaning. For example, a field consisting of decimal digits could represent a person’s age.
Records A record is a group of related fields. For example, a
record for an employee might consist of serveral fields, such as employee identification number (a whole number), name (a string of characters), hourly pay rate (a number with a decimal point), etc.

Records At least one field in each record is chosen as a record
key, which identifies a record as belonging to a particular person or entity and distinguishes that record from all others.
Files A file is a group of related records. More generally, a
file contains arbitrary data in arbitrary formats.

Database A database is a collection of data organized for easy
access and manipulation. The most popular model is the relational database, in which data is stored in simple tables. A table includes records and fields.
Big Data The amount of data being produced worldwide is
enormous and growing quickly. Big data applications deal with massive amounts of
data and create lots of opportunity for software developers (Over four million IT jobs globally were expected to support big data in 2015).

Machine Languages Any computer can directly understand only its own
machine language (also called machine code), defined by its hardware architecture. It consists of numbers, and is cumbersome for humans.
Machine Languages, Assembly Languages, and High-Level Languages

Assembly Languages English-like abbreviations representing elementary
operations formed the basis of assembly languages. Translator programs called assemblers were developed to convert assembly-language programs to machine language. They and are clearer to humans, and still popular in applications where minimizing memory use and maximizing execution efficiency is crucial.

High-Level Languages High-level languages, such as C# and Java, allow you
to write instructions that look more like everyday English and contain commonly used mathematical notations.
Translator programs called compilers convert high-level language programs into machine language.

High-Level Languages Interpreter programs were developed to execute high-
level language programs directly (without the need for compilation) although more slowly than compiled programs.
Scripting languages such as the popular web languages JavaScript and PHP are processed by interpreters.

Object-Oriented Programming Language Objects, or more precisely the classes objects come
from, are essentially reusable software components. All most any noun can be reasonably represented as a
software object in terms of attributes (e.g., name, color, and size) and behaviors (e.g., calculating, moving, and communicating)
Object-oriented programs are often easier to understand, correct, and modify.

Methods and Classes Performing a task in a program requires a method. The
method houses the program statements that actually perform the task. It hides these statements from its user.
A program unit called a class is created to house the set of methods that perform the class’s tasks.
Making Objects from Classes An object must be built from a class before a program
can perform the tasks that the class’s method define. The process of doing this is called instantiation. An object is then referred to as an instance of its class.

Reuse A class can be reused many times to build many
objects. Save time and effort. Help to build more reliable and effective systems.
Messages and Method Calls Each message is implemented as a method call that
tells a method of the object to perform its task.

Attributes and Instance Variables An object has attributes that it carries along as it’s used
in a program. Attributes are specified by the class’s instance
variables. Properties, get Accessor and set Accessors You do not need to have access to an object’s instance
variables in order to use them. You should use the properties of an object. Properties contain get accessors for reading the values
of variables, and set accessors for storing values into them.

Encapsulation Classes encapsulate (i.e., wrap) attributes and methods
into objects created from those classes ─ an object’s attributes and methods are intimately related.
Information hiding is crucial for good software engineering
Inheritance A new class of objects can be created quickly and
conveniently by inheritance ─ the new class absorbs the characteristics of an existing class, possibly customizing them and adding unique characteristics of its own.

ARPANET Initiated by the Advanced Research Project Agency of
the United States Department of Defense in the late 1960s.
For networking the main computers systems of approximately a dozen ARPA-funded universities and research institutions.
The precursor to today’s Internet. The protocol for communicating over the ARPANET
became known as the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

The Internet: A Network of Networks To enable different networks to communicate with each
other, ARPA developed the Internet Protocol (IP), which created a true “network of networks”, the current architecture of the Internet.
The combined set of protocols is now called TCP/IP.

The World Wide Web: Making the Internet User-Friendly The World Wide Web (simply called “the web”) is a
collection of hardware and software associated with the Internet that allows computer users to locate and view multimedia-based documents on almost any subject.
In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee of CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) began developing HyperText Markup Language (HTML) ─ the technology for sharing information via “hyperlinked” text documents.

The World Wide Web: Making the Internet User-Friendly He also wrote communication protocols such as
HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to form the backbone of his new hypertext information system.
In 1994, Berners-Lee founded the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C, http://www.w3.org), devoted to developing web technologies.
One of the W3C’s primary goals is to make the web universally accessible to everyone regardless of disabilities, language or culture.

Web Services Web services are software components stored on one
computer that can be accessed by an app (or other software component) on another computer over the Internet.
With web services, you can create mashups, which enable you to rapidly develop apps by combining complementary web services, often from multiple organizations, and possibly other forms of information feeds.

The Internet of Things The Internet is no longer just a network of computers ─
it’s an Internet of Things. A thing is any object with an IP address ─ a unique identifier that helps locate that thing on the Internet ─ and the ability to send data automatically over the Internet.
Such things include:• a car with a transponder for paying tolls,• a heart monitor implanted in a human,• item trackers in a warehouse,• mobile apps that can track your movement and
location.

In 2000, Microsoft announced the C# programming language. C# has roots in the C, C++, and Java programming languages.
It has similar capabilities to Java and is appropriate for the most demanding app-development tasks, especially for building today’s desktop apps, large-scale enterprise apps, and web-based, mobile, and cloud-based apps.

Object-Oriented Programming C# is object oriented. C# has access to the powerful .NET Framework Class
Library ─ a vast collection of prebuilt classes that enable you to develop apps quickly.
Event-Driven Programming C# graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are event driven. You can write programs that respond to user-initiated
events such as mouse clicks, keystrokes, timer expirations, and touches and finger swipes ─ gestures that are widely used on smartphones and tablets.

Visual Programming Microsoft’s Visual Studio enables you to use C# as a
visual programming language ─ in addition to writing program statements to build portions of your apps, you’ll also use Visual Studio to conventionally drag and drop predefined GUI objects like buttons and textboxes into place on your screen, and label and resize them.

Generic and Functional Programming With generic programming, you write code that
handles a collection “in the general” and C# handles the specifics for each different type of collection, saving you a great deal of work.
With functional programming, you specify what you want to accomplish in a task, but not how to accomplish it. For example, with Microsoft’s LINQ, you can say, “Here’s a collection of numbers, give me the sum of its elements.”

An International Standard C# has been standardized through ECMA International:http://www.ecma-international.org. This enables other implementation of the language besides Microsoft’s Visual C#.
C# on Non-Windows Platforms Through C# was originally developed by Microsoft for
the Windows platform, the language can be used on other platforms via the Mono Project and .NET Core ─ both are managed by the .NET Foundation http://www.dotnetfoundation.org

Internet and Web programing In online chapters, you’ll build web-based apps with
C# and Microsoft’s ASP.NET technology. Asynchronous Programming with async and await Synchronous programming: each task in a program
must finish executing before the next task can begin. Asynchronous programming: multiple tasks can be
performed at the same time. Asynchronous programming can help you make your
apps more responsive to user interactions.

In 2000, Microsoft announced its .NET initiative, a broad vision for using the Internet and the web in the development, engineering, distribution and use of software.
The Common Language Runtime (CLR) executes .NET programs and provides functionality to make them easier to develop and debug. The CLR is a virtual machine (VM) ─ software that
manages the execution of programs and hides from them the underlying operating systems and hardware.
The source code for programs that are executed and managed by the CLR is called managed code.
Microsoft’s .NET

Managed code is compiled into machine-specific instructions in the following steps. First, the code, is compiled into Microsoft Intermediate
Language (MSIL). The MSIL for an app’s components is placed into the app’s executable file.
When the app executes, another compiler (known as the just-in-time compiler or JIT compiler) in the CRL translates the MSIL in the executable file into machine-language code.
The machine-language code executes on that platform.

The .NET Framework provides a high level of language interoperability.
Because software components written in different .NET languages are all compiled into MSIL, the components can be combined to create a single unified program. Thus, MSIL allows the .NET Framework to be language independent.
