Information Technology: An Introduction for Today’s Digital World (PDF) introduces undergraduate students to a wide variety of concepts they will encounter throughout their IT careers and studies. The ebook covers computer organization and hardware; regular expressions; Linux and Windows operating systems; the Bash shell in Linux; system administration duties; computer networks; scripting; binary numbers; DOS; managing processes and services; and computer security. It also gives college students insight on IT-related careers; such as network and web administration; web development; computer forensics; and software engineering.
