Welcome to week 1
How many times a week do you use a computer?
For some of us, the answer might be "a lot"!
They are incredible machines that let us do everything from using specialized applications when completing a task at work to sending emails to loved ones in a distant place.
Have you ever thought about how computers can do all of this?
Well, that's where operating systems come in.
In this section, we'll learn about common operating systems, and we'll explore the main functions of an operating system.
Then, we'll learn the relationship between operating systems, applications, and hardware.
Finally, we'll compare graphical user interfaces and command-line interfaces.
The command-line interface will be an essential part of your job as a security analyst.
Understanding operating systems is an important foundation for your career in security.
There's so much to explore. Let's begin.
