Description
Information Technology can be seen as the core concept driving the technology revolution. Now, with serious commitment from government funding bodies, there are many courses on offer to graduates with non-computing backgrounds to retrain in this essential area. In order for the full potential of new technology to be realized, people moving into the area via the new IT conversion courses and those working in industries where the latest technological innovations are affecting working environments need to have not only the software expertise but also an understanding of the capabilities of modern computing. Exploring the important developments in the software field, the book provides a thorough study of formal methods in software design, information management systems, intelligent knowledge-based systems and human-machine interfaces. "Fundamentals of Information Technology" tackles this hybrid subject logically and clearly covering the grey areas of subjects such as software engineering, artificial intelligence and computer communications without requiring a substantial mathematical or technical grounding on the part of the reader.
