Open Source Software for Computer Survival with Rasha Abdulhadi
Compute for free, and with freedom. Open Source Software is essentially community supported technology; it’s created by teams of programmers and often offered at no charge to users. The course introduces basic applications for everyday computing: web-browsing, email, word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and system security. We’ll discuss how to customize these programs to meet your needs, and also try out some fun programs used for graphics and audio editing. Bring a laptop for installation in class or go home with a CD of software to install at home. Programs covered will include: Firefox, Open Office, Audacity, GIMP, Ad-aware, Spybot, and others.
