This book consists of two titles, which are the following: 1 - Computer Science: Computer science is a field that deals with the study of computers and computational systems. It encompasses both the theoretical and practical aspects of computing, including algorithms, data structures, programming languages, software engineering, and more. It's about understanding how computers work, how they can solve problems, and how they interact with humans and other systems. 2 - Cyber Security: To effectively defend against the threats, cybersecurity professionals employ a variety of strategies and technologies. This includes implementing robust firewalls and intrusion detection systems to monitor and control network traffic, deploying antivirus software to detect and remove malicious software, using encryption to secure sensitive data both in transit and at rest, and implementing strong authentication mechanisms such as multi-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access.

A concise introduction to key computing skills for biologists While biological data continues to grow exponentially in size and quality, many of today’s biologists are not trained adequately in the computing skills necessary for leveraging this information deluge. In Computing Skills for Biologists, Stefano Allesina and Madlen Wilmes present a valuable toolbox for the effective analysis of biological data. Based on the authors’ experiences teaching scientific computing at the University of Chicago, this textbook emphasizes the automation of repetitive tasks and the construction of pipelines for data organization, analysis, visualization, and publication. Stressing practice rather than theory, the book’s examples and exercises are drawn from actual biological data and solve cogent problems spanning the entire breadth of biological disciplines, including ecology, genetics, microbiology, and molecular biology. Beginners will benefit from the many examples explained step-by-step, while more seasoned researchers will learn how to combine tools to make biological data analysis robust and reproducible. The book uses free software and code that can be run on any platform. Computing Skills for Biologists is ideal for scientists wanting to improve their technical skills and instructors looking to teach the main computing tools essential for biology research in the twenty-first century. Excellent resource for acquiring comprehensive computing skills Both novice and experienced scientists will increase efficiency by building automated and reproducible pipelines for biological data analysis Code examples based on published data spanning the breadth of biological disciplines Detailed solutions provided for exercises in each chapter Extensive companion website

This practical, hands-on guide shows how to develop a structured approach to biological data and the tools needed to analyze it. It's aimed at scientists and students learning computational approaches to biological data, as well as experienced biology researchers starting to use computers to handle data.

"As the Army moves toward a digital battlefield, the nation's defense will become reliant on the computer skills of its leaders, soldiers, and civilians. To embody this future force, Army training must successfully address the acquisition, retention, and transfer of computer skills. As a first step toward this goal, this research product reviews the literature concerning the acquisition, retention, and transfer of computer-based skills. A review of 76 articles examining the training domains of programming, software, simulation, and gaming ability was performed. General conclusions for each training area (acquisition, retention, and transfer) are presented. In general, the research does not build on previous findings in the area. In addition, many areas, such as the long-term retention of computer skills and individual difference variables, remain to be explored."--DTIC.
