This document provides an introduction to basic computer hardware and software components. It begins with a brief history of computers, including early computers like ENIAC and key developments like the Apple II and IBM PC. It then defines hardware as the physical parts of a computer like the monitor, keyboard, mouse, CPU, printer, and modem. Software is defined as the instructions that make hardware work, like operating systems and applications. The document provides tutorials on using a mouse, starting programs, working with windows, and the start menu. It teaches mouse techniques, how to minimize, maximize and close windows.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

icon will launch a
program.
(icon is a picture
representation of a
program)
There are other ways to
start a program, that we
will learn later.

When this button is clicked, a menu appears.
This is called the Start Menu.
Without clicking roll your mouse up and down
this menu.
Notice on the little black triangles to the far
right of Search, Settings, Documents, and
Programs. When you see a black
triangle, that means there is a another
menu that will expand on the right.
Try it.
There is a technique to this, you must roll
your mouse straight across to the right to
keep the menu displayed.
18. 18
Lab 2: Starting a Program the
second way
1. Click the Start button again (if
your menu disappears, click

(notice the word Solitaire
is written in a gray
rectangle)
(picture on bottom right is the
enlarged view of the
taskbar)
21. 21
Buttons
Buttons in Windows are:
Square objects that can
look like they can be

shadow around them that
makes them look raised.
You click with the mouse.
For example:
the minimize, maximize
and close buttons
(see picture to the right)
22. 22
Working with a Window
How to: ___ a window
minimize - minus button
maximize - square button

Lab 3: Minimizing and
Restoring a Window
1. Click the minus button in the
top right hand side of the
window of the solitaire game
(See picture to the top right)
2. Notice: the solitaire game
disappeared
3. Look on the toolbar at the

circled)
2. Notice this enlarges the Solitaire
window to the size of your screen
(See picture in the middle)
3. Click the square again, it looks
like two squares, because it
shrinks the window down to a
smaller window within your main
window.(See picture to the bottom
right)
25. 25
Lab 5: Closing a Window
1. Click the X in the right
hand corner
(See picture top right)
2. Notice that the game has
