From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

IT-101 is a term often used in the field of information technology to refer to the basic concepts and principles that form the foundation of this discipline. It is typically used in the context of introductory courses or materials designed to provide a broad overview of the subject.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Information technology (IT) is a broad field that encompasses many different areas, including computer science, networking, software development, data management, and more. IT-101 is often the first step for individuals seeking to understand or pursue a career in this field.

Key Concepts[edit | edit source]

Hardware[edit | edit source]

Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system. This includes the central processing unit (CPU), memory, storage devices, and input/output devices. Understanding how these components work together is a fundamental part of IT-101.

Software[edit | edit source]

Software is the set of instructions that tells the hardware what to do. This can range from the operating system that manages the computer's resources, to the applications that perform specific tasks. Understanding how software is developed and how it interacts with hardware is another key concept in IT-101.

Networking[edit | edit source]

Networking involves connecting computers and other devices together so that they can share resources and communicate with each other. This can involve both physical connections (such as Ethernet cables) and wireless connections (such as Wi-Fi). Understanding the principles of networking, including the various protocols and standards used, is another important part of IT-101.
