Description

This textbook covers the content of a general introductory lecture in computer science held at a German University. The basic stuff for most special courses - circuit technology, programming, operating system, networking, security, and more - is presented along with some further background information not necessarily covered by other lectures, but helping to understand relationships and reasons why certain techniques are done in just that way. The learning process is supported by numerous exercises. 2nd edition with minor changes and clarifications. A forum is now available on http://www.gilbertbrands.de/smf/ . Though the primary language of this site is German, feel free to post your comments in English.Dieses Lehrbuch deckt den Inhalt einer allgemeinen Einführungsveranstaltung in die Informatik ab. Die grundlegenden Dinge für die meisten spezielle Kurse - Schaltungstechnik, Programmierung, Betriebssysteme, Netzwerke, Sicherheit und vieles mehr - werden zusammen mit einigen weiteren Hintergrundinformationen, die nicht unbedingt von anderen Vorlesungen abgedeckt werden, sondern dazu beitragen sollen, Beziehungen und Hintergründe, warum bestimmte Techniken in einer bestimmten Weise ausgeführt sind, verständlich dargestellt. Der Lernprozess wird durch zahlreiche Übungen unterstützt.Zweite Auflage mit kleinen Änderungen. Ein Forum ist unter http://www.gilbertbrands.de/smf/ für Fragen, Kommentare und Anregungen verfügbar.
