The Introduction to Computer Science course consists of two sections.
The one section focuses on Programming. For a computer to execute a task it needs to have a set of instructions called a program. As human languages are too ambiguous, special computer languages have been developed. The two languages taught in this section are Python and Java.
The second section focuses on Computer Networks and Operating Systems. To execute the programs the computer needs a piece of software that takes care of the management tasks in the background. This is the operating system and the focus will be on Linux. To communicate between computers a network is needed. The Internet is discussed which connects computers to enable world-wide communication.
