Computers are an integral part of our lives, both personally and professionally. In a few short decades, they have become so indispensable that understanding how they work and how to use them has become imperative. In this course, you will be introduced to basic information technology (IT) concepts, beginning with common numbering systems used by computers and the two international data standards. Then you will explore the character and numerical data types used in computer programming. Finally, you will learn about the basics of computer processing, inputs and outputs, the role of computer storage, and how it works. This course helps prepare learners for the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam, FC0-U61.
