Scope of Learning: I. Operating System Concepts (OS) Operating System is the software that sits on top of the har dware and acts as an interface to interact with the hardware. Understanding the key concepts of operating system is highly required as all software written is hosted by an OS. It manages the computer's memory, processes, and all of its software & hardware. If the processer is said to be the heart of the computer, the Operating System is the Soul.

Database Management System (DBMS) Concepts Ubiquitous nature of any software system is to work with data. A database is a logically coherent collection of data with some inherent meaning, representing some aspect of real world and w hich is designed, built and populated with data for a specific purpose. DBMS is a collection of programs that enables user to create and maintain a database. It is general purpose software that provides the users with the processes of defining, constructing and manipulating the database for various applications.
