Did You Know? The Term "Software Engineering"

The term "Software Engineering" was popularized by Margaret Hamilton, the computer scientist who wrote the code for the Apollo 11 space mission. Her software was so well-written and robust that it prevented a mission abort just minutes before the lunar module landed on the Moon!

Questions and Answers!

• What is an Operating System (OS)?
An OS (like Windows, macOS, or Linux) is the most important software running on a computer. It manages the computer's memory and processes, as well as all of its software and hardware. Without an OS, your computer is useless!

• What does an "Archiver" do?
Programs like WinRAR, WinZip, or 7-Zip compress files so they take up less storage space on your hard drive, and they can bundle multiple files into one single folder (an archive) making them easier to email or download.

• What program do I need to defend my computer against viruses?
You need an Antivirus program! Software like NOD32, Avira, Avast, or Windows Defender actively scans the files you download and the websites you visit to block malicious code from harming your system.
