=Topic 1: Binary Numbers= ==

Computers know on and off. Voltage or no voltage. 1 or 0. We call this a "binary" number system - or base 2 (bi=two). Our decimal system is base 10 (deci=ten)

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/education/k12/the-journey-inside/explore-the-curriculum/digital-information/lesson1.html Make a summary/notes as you go. Be prepared for a short quiz :)
 * TASK 1A:** Complete the quick lessons in this Intel Series first.

Here is an acsii to binary conversion sheet for you. http://www.roubaixinteractive.com/PlayGround/Binary_Conversion/The_Characters.asp


 * TASK 1B:** Create 3 sentences in your workbook in binary coded ASCII. Email it to the person on your right and have them convert it back to ASCII.


 * TASK 1C:** Now convert three (randomly selected) numbers form DECIMAL to BINARY. Record in your workbook.

Check out what happens when you Google "Binary" ...totally nerdy :)

Now let's ADD BINARY NUMBERS!

** Adding Unsigned Binary Numbers ** Let's assume that we have two unsigned binary values of 01010101 (which is 85 in decimal) and 01110100 (which is 116 in decimal) and we want to add these two numbers together. The process we use is:

** Adding two unsigned binary numbers. **

As with our decimal addition, we commence with the two least significant digits (the least significant "bits" in the Bit 0 position in this case) on the right-hand side. So, 1 + 0 = 1; that wasn't so hard, was it? Next, we add the two bits in the Bit 1 position: 0 + 0 = 1. This just keeps on getting easier and easier, doesn't it. But wait, what's this? When we get to the Bit 2 position we have 1 + 1 = 10 (where 10 in binary is 2 in decimal). This means that our sum for this bit is 0 and we have a carry-out of 1 to the next stage. Fortunately, the Bit 3 addition is easy, because we have 0 + 0 + '1' = 1 (where the '1' is the carry-in from the previous stage).

The Bit 4 addition is familiar to us: 1 + 1 = 10, so the sum for this bit is 0 and we have a carry-out of 1 to the next stage. Similarly, the Bit 5 addition is 0 + 1 + '1' = 10, which gives us a sum of 0 for this bit and a carry-out to the next stage.

The Bit 6 addition is new to us, because now we have 1 + 1 + '1' = 11 (where 11 in binary is 3 in decimal), which means that the sum for this bit is 1 and we also have a carry-out of 1 to the next stage. Finally, we're back on home ground with the Bit 7 addition of 0 + 0 + '1' = 1.

Thus, the end result of adding 01010101 (85 in decimal) and 01110100 (116 in decimal) is 11001001 (201 in decimal), which is just what we'd expect.

= It takes much longer to explain it than it does to actually just do it. Have a go at these ones yourself... =

Here's another reference - The first part of this page is a summary of what is above and we did on the board in class when adding binary numbers.

The second part is about "signed" binary numbers which you can also learn more about here.

**HOMEWORK** - in your Glossary put any new terms (and definitions) you have learned about so far. Look up "two's compliment" in relation to signed binary numbers and be ready to tell me what that means next lesson!

=**Topic 1B - Hexadecimal Numbers (Extension)**= Research Hexadecimal numbers. In your workbook record the answers to the following questions: 1. What is the purpose of the hexadecimal number system and where is it most used? 2. How does it work (include a diagram/pictorial)? 3. Choose 3 numbers to convert form Decimal to Hexadecimal 4. How do you convert from Hexadecimal to Binary?

[[image:check mark width="41" height="37"]]Quick Quiz 1
You will know some of these answers. For the ones you don't know the answers to you will have to do a little research on the internet (or in the reference text I have at the front of the room :) ). Answer the questions in your digital workbook in full sentences.

1. What is primary memory 2. What is the main difference between ROM and RAM 3. What is secondary memory 4. When is sequential access used? 5. When is random access used? 6. What are the main differences between hard disks and flash drives? 7. What is the difference between a CD and a DVD 8. Explain why tapes and disks do not require the presence of electricty to hold their memorised information. Why is this an advantage? 9. Find out how much each of the following devices costs. Also find out the price of a single disk or cartridge use in teh device - Zip Drive - DVD Burner - Flash Drive 10. Which device would be most suitable in the following situations>
 * 1) To copy a text file from a school PC to take home. Your PC at home has only a floppy drive and a hard drive
 * 2) To copy a large graphics file to give to your freind who only has a CD and a hard drive. Your PC now has every type of storage attached to it.
 * 3) To back up financial records for a business to keep a permanent copy at the end of each month.
 * 4) To make a back-up copy of the latest game you installed from a CD onto your PC.

=**TOPIC 4 **= =** HTML for WEB DESIGN **=


 * HTML BASIC “MUST HAVE” NOTES & TIPS **

You will need some resources to back you up when you are beginning. These are a good reference and have great tutorials.

GOOD REFERENCE FOT HTML EVERYTHING [] Just note the “Tryit Editor” is good but does not show the page title tags (no biggie)

Learning Intention - To understand that:
 * The HTML skeleton is the foundation on which most internet pages are based
 * HTML is written in Tags
 * Tags usually come in pairs (never rely on the fact that they can be optional!)
 * A Tag is a word surrounded by angle brackets, e.g.:  ,  ,  </TITLE>
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A pair of tags has as a starting Tag and an end Tag. The end Tag is preceded by a forward slash
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Tags can have Attributes - these further define the tag functions
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You should to add <!DOCTYPE HTML> to the top of all your HTML pages to signify HTML 5 is being used (has no end tag).
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You can create a template so you don’t have to start from scratch every time!

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First, use a text editor (eg. notepad) set up a basic html web page for yourself. Test it in your browser.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><!doctype html> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Put the page title here <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Put anything else you want to say here <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Indentations are used for readability only. Whitespace will almost always be ignored unless you use the preformatted tag.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anything within angle brackets are instructions and will not print to the screen – but they are executed by the browser software <>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The <abbr title=”hover over text”> is a really important feature for readability of websites. It lets you show the user what the acronym or abbreviation stands for. You can also use the alt= attribute to provide alternate text in case the image can’t be displayed (also read by screen readers)

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Comments are an important tool for programmers **** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You can also use the comment tag to “comment out” parts of you code while you are debugging and trying to find a problem part of your code by using the tag around the part you want ignored.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Links to external CSS files must use and be contained in

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">MEMORY HOGS: If an HTML file contains ten images - eleven files are required to display the page right. Loading images takes time, so the best advice is to use images carefully. When a web page is loaded, it is the browser that actually gets the image from a web server and inserts it into the page. **YOU MUST** make sure that the images actually stay in the same spot in relation to the web page, otherwise your visitors will get a broken link icon. The broken link icon is shown if the browser cannot find the image.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is far form comprehensive. You need to work through the tutorials at W3 Schools to learn more but…

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">THE BEST HTML TIP EVER (in my humble opinion!)…
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you ever see a Web page and wonder "Hey! How did they do that?” you can find out by right-clicking in the page and select "View Source" (IE) or "View Page Source" (Firefox), or “Inspect Element” (Chrome) or something similar for other browsers. This will open a window containing the HTML code of the page! No secrets :)

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">(You can even edit the html right there sometimes…you can change the words etc. It won’t save or change the actual page on the web (only the one in your browser) but you can use it for great practical jokes :))
