[2/18, 8:05 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: We are all welcome to the first class.Its all about programming and web development today we will be going through the introductory aspect
[2/18, 8:06 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: Firstly we all know what information technology is  the order of this generation which gives the need for more and more computer programmers to meet up the requirement of the market.
[2/18, 8:09 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: This class will be focusing on web design
And secondarily
Android app development
Windows software And others
[2/18, 8:10 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: The basic requirement includes
A computer system
With power supply
Windows 7 and above
[2/18, 8:11 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: Tonight I will be introducing us to text documents and file structure
[2/18, 8:12 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: Every powerful software is composed of text documents which integrates into the text file. From word to sophisticated programs
[2/18, 8:13 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: Text documents are the basic Code component of any document with two parts the file name and the file extension
[2/18, 8:14 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: The easiest way to assess THIS is through text editors and on all windows system we have the notepad
[2/18, 8:15 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: For example a music might be named loveme.mp3
The first part before the dot is the file name(loveme)  while the other part(mp3) is the file extension
[2/18, 8:16 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: The file extension is what software on phones and computers used to determine what is to  be used to run or decode the file.
[2/18, 8:17 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: When a file has an extension .mp3 it's assumed to be a music when it has something like mp4 it's assumed to be a video
[2/18, 8:19 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: Let's do a little practical go to your phone file manager And try renaming a music to something.mp4 and Tell me what happens while you are trying to Open that file
You can also try this on a system
[2/18, 8:31 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: Normally these extensions are hidden in Windows you have to make it visible yourself
[2/18, 8:34 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: For phones you would discover the icon will change in most cases and while trying to launch it will be giving errors
[2/18, 8:36 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: This is because the software to be used in playing music only looks for mp3 wav and others and Not mp3 as a result of this the file Will be decoded wrong ly  which majorly results it from not opening
[2/18, 8:38 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: This is a very good skill used in stenography . the science and act of hiding things.
You want to hide something
Nobody knows what it is
It will Not show in gallery
And it looks meaningless
Just rename it with the wrong extension And it's done
[2/18, 8:41 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: Just imagine renaming a video to Xender.apk lobatan it will never install and nobody will have a clue of what it is
Until you rename it with the right extension and enjoy your thing
[2/18, 8:42 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: Or rename to anything.anthing
All software will keep telling you cannot open this file. Only you b knows the right thing
[2/18, 8:43 PM] Mr Waccaff Tech World: To show this on your windows 7 follow these steps
