English translation:basics of computer science / IT basics / basics of informatics
Explanation:
I received my first lesson in computer science in 1964.
Obviously you can replace "IT basics" with "Informatiom Technology Basics" but the acronyme is what people use.
Oh and "basics" as in the famous and still famously popular computer programming language "BASIC", now visual basic.
