IT is pervasive.

Whatever your needs, IT has changed our lifestyle. It is like a car, IT brings you from point A to point B more efficiently. This book lets you look under the hood. It explains how the computer and internet works, explains the process of developing software, how managing an IT project, and what goes into designing an IT architecture. So whether you are an Information System student, an entrepreneur exploring internet business, or you are just interested in learning the nuts and bolts of computers, this book will get you started and set you on your way. We have written this book for our first semester Information System course. The chapters include illustrations, exercises, reviews, definitions and even reader blogs.
