- As supported by multiple references, cited below, there are three known categorical definitions for the term Information technology (IT).
- the branch of engineering science that studies (with the aid of computers) computable processes and structures
- Computer science or computing science (sometimes abbreviated CS) is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation, and of practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems.
- The study of the principles and use of computers

- An audiobook is a recording that is primarily spoken word. It is often based on a recording of commercial printed material. It is not necessarily an exact audio version of a book.
- Works produced for distribution on audio media, typically audiotape cassette or audio compact disk (CD). Audio books are usually spoken-word adaptations of works originally created and produced in print.

computer science audio books – The Code
Throughout the text are clear technical and mathematical explanations, and portraits of the remarkable personalities who wrote and broke the world’s most difficult codes. Accessible, compelling, and remarkably far-reaching, this book will forever alter your view of history and what drives it. It will also make yo wonder how private that e-mail you just sent really is.
People love secrets. Ever since the first word was written, humans have sent coded messages to each other. In The Code Book, Simon Singh, author of the bestselling Fermat’s Enigma, offers a peek into the world of cryptography and codes, from ancient texts through computer encryption. Singh’s compelling history is woven through with stories of how codes and ciphers have played a vital role in warfare, politics, and royal intrigue. The major theme of The Code Book is what Singh calls “the ongoing evolutionary battle between codemakers and codebreakers,” never more clear than in the chapters devoted to World War II. Cryptography came of age during that conflict, as secret communications became critical to both sides’ success.
Confronted with the prospect of defeat, the Allied cryptanalysts had worked night and day to penetrate German ciphers. It would appear that fear was the main driving force, and that adversity is one of the foundations of successful codebreaking.
In the information age, the fear that drives cryptographic improvements is both capitalistic and libertarian–corporations need encryption to ensure that their secrets don’t fall into the hands of competitors and regulators, and ordinary people need encryption to keep their everyday communications private in a free society. Similarly, the battles for greater decryption power come from said competitors and governments wary of insurrection.
The Code Book is an excellent primer for those wishing to understand how the human need for privacy has manifested itself through cryptography. Singh’s accessible style and clear explanations of complex algorithms cut through the arcane mathematical details without oversimplifying. –Therese Littleton
If Six was Nine – detail
"IF VI WAS IX: Roots and Branches" is a great starting point for visitors to begin their journey through EMP|SFM’s galleries and exhibitions, offering a dynamic, interactive, and historical journey into the origins and evolution of American popular music.
From the ancient Scottish melodies that eventually gave birth to folk music, to the "sweet home" Chicago blues, to the irreverence of punk rock, visitors receive an audio/visual tour of American musical roots and influences. Computer touch-screens equipped with earphones guide visitors through various musical permutations as live music, provided by the sculpture itself, plays in the background. Numerous customized robotic guitars attached to the sculpture play music on cue. Each customized guitar plays only one string at a time, so six guitars work together to create the sound of one chord—an effective mechanical metaphor for the way that musical styles and traditions have influenced one another throughout time.
About the technology:
More than 500 musical instruments and 30 computers were used to create "IF VI WAS IX: Roots and Branches." The process began when short stretches of music were played into a computer by live musicians. These short segments of music were then organized by Trimpin into a continuous electronic composition, with notes assigned to specific instruments by what is called a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) platform. The computer activates a motor, the motor plucks the guitar string and the string makes the sound, much in the way that a player piano roll triggers the keys of a player piano.
About the artist:
Trimpin, the artist who designed "IF VI WAS IX: Roots and Branches," grew up near the Black Forest in Germany. His background is as multi-faceted and original as his artistic creations. After years of formal training in brass and woodwind performance, he completed an apprenticeship in electrical engineering and later earned a Master’s degree in social pedagogy.
"I had to study what goes on physically when different brains are working. I needed all this information to get to the point where I could execute my ideas. It wasn’t available in literature, because none of these books existed. So from the beginning I always had to do it on my own."
Trimpin’s commissioned artwork can be seen throughout the United States and Europe.
