The Machine Age Chronicles: A Beginner's Guide to the History and Future of Computing

            Hello fellow Java noobs! As my journey continues further into the world computing and specifically programming, we’ve now arrived at Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and Java. The names alone sound intimidating, but don’t worry! I'm here to explain what Ive learn to your ------from one beginner to another. Getting Started 1.       Go to the Oracle website or OpenJDK to get the Java Development Kit (JDK). 2.       Pick the JDK version that matches your computer (Windows, macOS, Linux) and download it. 3.       Open the downloaded file and follow the on-screen setup instructions. 4.       To check if Java is installed, type java -version in your command prompt or terminal. If you see a version number, you're all set! 5.       For writing Java code, you'll need an IDE (a program where you’ll write the code). Good options for beginners include Eclipse, NetBeans, Visual Studio Code, and IntelliJ IDEA. 6.       After doing some Google research I chose I

  Operating systems, the backbone of modern computer systems, ensure optimal performance through functions like memory management, process coordination, and access control, facilitating smooth hardware-software interactions. This post dives into operating systems theory, examining the structures and roles of current systems in information sharing, memory management, file handling, and access control. Additionally, we will explore how these principles enhance efficiency and resource management in future courses and professions. Contemporary Operating Systems and Their Structures Today, we have more types of computing than when the first modern computer was built. These include traditional computing, mobile computing, distributed systems, and others, like cloud computing or real-time embedded systems. Operating systems, the heart of our computers, help hardware and software work together smoothly. They do many things, like providing a user interface (Silberschatz et al., 2013). An OS pro
