INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY,
INTERNET AND YOU
Topics to be covered:
Information Systems
People
Software
Hardware
Data
Connectivity and the Mobile Internet
Information System
An information system has several parts:
People
Procedure
Software
Hardware
Data
Internet
(continued…)
People: It is easy to overlook people as one of the parts of an
information system. Yet this is what personal computers are all about—
making people, end users like you, more productive.
(continued…)
Procedures: The rules or guidelines
for people to follow when using
software, hardware, and data are
procedures. These procedures are
typically documented in manuals
written by computer specialists.
Software and hardware
manufacturers provide manuals with
their products. These manuals are
provided in either printed or electronic
form.
(continued…)
Software: A program consists of the step-by-step instructions that tell
the computer how to do its work. Software is another name for a
program or programs. The purpose of software is to convert data
(unprocessed facts) into information (processed facts).
(continued…)
Hardware: The equipment that processes the data to create information
is called hardware. It includes smartphones, tablets, keyboards, mice,
displays, system units, and other devices. Hardware is controlled by
software.
(continued…)
Data: The raw, unprocessed facts, including text, numbers, images,
and sounds, are called data. Processed data yields information.
(continued…)
Internet: Almost all information systems provide a way to connect to
other people and computers, typically using the Internet. This
connectivity greatly expands the capability and usefulness of
information systems.
Stop: Let us check our progress
People
People are surely the most important part of any information system.
Our lives are touched every day by computers and information systems.
Many times the contact is direct and obvious, such as when we create
documents using a word processing program or when we connect to the
Internet.
Other times, the contact is not as obvious.
Software
There are two major kinds of software: system software and
application software.
The user interacts primarily with application software. System software
enables the application software to interact with the computer hardware.
System software is “background” software that helps the computer
manage its own internal resources.
(continued…)
System software is not a single program. Rather, it is a collection of
programs, including the following:
Operating Systems
Utilities
(continued…)
Operating systems are programs that coordinate computer resources,
provide an interface between users and the computer, and run
applications. Smartphones, tablets, and many other mobile devices use
embedded operating systems, also known as real-time operating
systems (RTOS).

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
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.

1. Bible Verse for Today: Proverbs 3:1-6 1 My son, do not forget my teaching. Keep my commands in your heart. 2 They will help you live for many years. They will bring you success. 3 Don't let love and truth ever leave you. Tie them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Then you will find favor and a good name in the eyes of God and people. 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways remember him. Then he will make your paths smooth and straight.
