Course Synopsis
This course familiarizes you with the internal working of different components of PC. It demonstrate students how to control these components, how TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) programs work and how different interrupts are generated and intercepted. You will learn how to develop device drivers for different devices. In this course you will learn different file systems and their working in detail. It also guides you how different viruses and data recovery software works.
