STUFF FOR CLASS

Case is $80,000 enough on web

Page 3: Appendix A Hardware Appendix B Software

IS THIS ENOUGH MONEY?

Is the $80,000 question a credible problem? What happens if you answer the $80,000 question

incorrectly? What kind of reputation are you building for yourself Whom do you think you are competing against

As we go through this chapter what questions might you ask to answer the $80,000 question correctly

SIX MAJOR ROLES AND GOALS OF IT

1. Increase employee productivity by reducing time, errors and costs using

2. Enhance decision making 3. Improve team collaboration 4. Create business partnerships and alliances 5. Enable global reach all over the world taking into

consideration the culture of each nation or society. 6. Facilitate organizational transformation as the

organization evolves and responds to the ever-changing marketplace.

PROCESSINGProcessingThe role of processing in a computer system is to translate inputs into outputs. This is done through a combination of language and system components

LanguageComputers speak a language called binary or “machine language” which consists of 0s & 1s

System Unit The physical box that houses all of the working electronic components of the computer

Page 9: Appendix A Hardware Appendix B Software

A-9

PROCESSING – LANGUAGEBinary or Machine Language• The language that all computers use• IT is expressed in 0s or 1s only (see below)• Binary utilizes Base-2 math to convert from normal characters to binary code (e.g.

A = 0100 0001 in binary)

A = 0100 0001

PROCESSING – THE SYSTEM UNIT

The System UnitThe physical box that houses all of the working electronic components of the computer

Components• Support – electronic equipment to run the machine• Central Processing Unit (CPU) – the primary processor in a computer• Primary Storage – temporary and permanent storage used by the computer to

operate• Secondary Storage – longer-term storage for data• Ports and Slots – mechanisms to connect devices and specialty processors

PROCESSING – CENTRAL PROCESSING UNITCentral Processing Unit (CPU)

Called the “brains of the computer”, its role is to perform the operations of the computer using two components:•Control Unit – this device interprets instructions and transmits direction to the computer’s components

•Arithmetic Logic Unit – this device performs math as well as logical operations by interpreting and executing instructions

CLASSES OF SOFTWARESystem SoftwareThe collection of programs that control the basic functions of computer hardware

Application SoftwarePrograms that let the user perform a specific task or operation by interacting with the system software

Development Languages and EnvironmentsAutomated software tools used by system developers to design and implement information systems

Page 22: Appendix A Hardware Appendix B Software

SYSTEM SOFTWARE – A.K.A. OPERATING SYSTEMS

Common Functions• Booting or (starting) the computer• Reading programs into memory and

managing memory allocation• Managing where programs and files

are located in secondary storage• Maintaining the structure of

directories and subdirectories• Formatting disks• Controlling the computer monitor• Sending documents to the printer

Page 23: Appendix A Hardware Appendix B Software

B-23

OPERATING SYSTEM – INTERFACES InterfacesAfter boot up, the computer provides an interface for the user or programmer to interact with it. Different operating systems use different types

Common Interface Type• Command-based interface– • Menu interface – • Graphical user interface (GUI)

COMMON OPERATING SYSTEMS

Page 25: Appendix A Hardware Appendix B Software

OPERATING SYSTEMS - UTILITIES Utilities:Programs that manage computer resources and files and may be included in the operating system or purchased separately as needed

Page 26: Appendix A Hardware Appendix B Software

B-26

APPLICATION SOFTWARE Application SoftwareThis software performs specific user functions (e.g. e-mail)

Customized Application SoftwareSoftware that is developed to meet the specification of an organization. This can be developed “in-house” by IS staff or by an outside vendor. Advantages include:• Customizability – tailored to meet specific needs• Problem specificity – pay for only those functions that are

developed for and used by the organization

Off-the-Shelf SoftwarePackaged software developed by a vendor for a particular problem or industry but is not specific to an organization. This is a lower cost approach that may be combined with custom development to tailor it

Page 27: Appendix A Hardware Appendix B Software

B-27

TYPES OF APPLICATION SOFTWARETypes of Application Software Application software come in two types for use by organizations: 1) large business systems and office automation; 2) personal productivity tools

Business SystemsThese large systems support enterprise-wide operations such as:• Accounting -A/P, A/R,

general ledger, payroll• Operations - inventory

management, order processing, shipping, etc.

Personal ProductivityUsed by individuals or groups to support a variety of common tasks such as:• Communication – e-mail,

word processing• Scheduling – group calendars• Analysis - spreadsheets

Page 28: Appendix A Hardware Appendix B Software

OPEN SOURCE SOFTWAREOpen SourceA special class of software that includes operating systems, application software, and programming languages in which the source code (the actual program code) is freely available to the general public for use and/or modification

Popular Open Source ApplicationsA number of mainstream open source applications can be found across many organizations. Here are just a few:

• Operating systems – Linux• Web browsers – Mozilla• Web servers – Apache• E-mail processing – Sendmail• Internet domain naming service – BIND• Secure connection standard - OpenSSL

COMPILERS, LANGUAGES, AND ENVIRONMENTSCompilers and Interpreters

Software designed to translate programming languages into machine code or binary in order to allow the computer to execute the program instructions

Programming LanguagesLanguages used to write program instructions that have evolved from early “machine language” to higher-level languages that are easier to write and understand

Automated Development EnvironmentsAutomated software tools used by systems developers to design and implement information systems and increase quality and productivity

Page 30: Appendix A Hardware Appendix B Software

B-30

COMPILERS AND INTERPRETERSCompilersThese highly-specialized software applications are used to convert program instructions (source code) into the machine code (object code) prior to being loaded into a computer’s secondary storage ( entire program )

Compiler Example

Page 31: Appendix A Hardware Appendix B Software

B-31

COMPILERS AND INTERPRETERSInterpreterThese specialized software applications are similar to compilers but instead of translating the source code to machine language prior to loading, it reads, translates, and executes one line of source code at a time during operation ( one line at a time )

Interpreter Example

PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES – MORE RECENT HIGH-LEVELObject-Oriented Programming (OOP)

These languages allow programmers to group data and program instructions together into modules (objects) that can be manipulated by a programmer (e.g Java or C++).

Visual LanguagesThese languages take advantage of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) allowing additions of visual objects (e.g. buttons) with a few clicks versus coding the object pixel by pixel

PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES – WEB DEVELOPMENTWeb Development Languages

These languages are used to develop Web pages and operations using both static and dynamic content

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

Extensible Markup Language (XML)

Dynamic ContentMarkup languages are used for laying out or formatting content, while dynamic languages are needed to provide animation or dynamic (changing) content

Dynamic LanguagesSeveral languages are available for creating dynamic content such as:• Java –• ActiveX – • Scripting Languages (JavaScript) –
