Software Fundamentals

Software consists of computer programs, which are sequences of instructions for the computer. The process of
writing (or coding) programs is called programming, and individuals who perform this task are called programmers.

TWO TYPES OF SOFTWARE

1. Systems software - is a set of instructions that serves primarily as an intermediary between computer
hardware and application programs and may also be directly manipulated by knowledgeable users.

Categories:

1. Operating System

a. Mobile device operating systems( e.g Embedded Linux, Windows CE Pocket PC, Windows
Embedded NT 4.0, The Palm OS)

b. Desktop and notebook computer operating systems(e.g. Windows, UNIX, Linux, The Macintosh,
Enterprise server OS)

2. System Support Programs The second major category of systems software

3. System utilities-are programs that have been written to accomplish common tasks such as sorting
records, checking the integrity of diskettes (i.e., amount of storage available and existence of any damage),
and creating directories and subdirectories

4. System performance monitors are programs that monitor the processing of jobs on a computer system

5. System security monitors are programs that monitor the use of a computer system to protect it and its
resources from unauthorized use, fraud, or destruction.

2. Application software - is a set of computer instructions that provide more specific functionality to a user. That
functionality may be broad, such as general word processing, or narrow, such as an organization’s payroll program.

1.Proprietary application software addresses a specific or unique business need for a company
2. Off-The-Shelf Application Software can be purchased, leased, or rented from a vendor that develops
programs and sells them to many organizations.

Software Suites and Other Personal Application Software

Software suites are collections of application software packages that integrate many functions in one package.

Open Source Software- is software made available in source code form at no cost to developerS.
