| What is Software?Software is a set of instruction | | | | - Computer Games |
| written to interface between man and machine.Who | | | | - SCADA ApplicationsSome of the popular |
| writes this instructions?Programmers writes this | | | | Applications are:Oracle |
| instructions.How the programmers write the instructions | | | | MSoffice (Word,Excel,Access,PowerPoint,Outlook, |
| /software?They use computer languages to write | | | | etc.) |
| software applications.Software can be divided into | | | | VB |
| three main categories:Languages | | | | VC++ |
| Applications | | | | AutocadOPERATING SYSTEM:This is the interface |
| Operating Systems (OS)LANGUAGE:It is one of the | | | | between user and computer or man and machine. This |
| software type, use to write extensive applications and | | | | is the main and mandatory software in computer. |
| operating systems It did not contains any limitations in | | | | Without Operating System (OS) computer will never |
| programming. By using the languages you can write | | | | starts. It is the mediator between you as an user and |
| any thing for a computer.For instance just imagine a | | | | computer.Think that you are suppose to talk to a |
| language like a piece of cloth with that you want to | | | | person who does not understand your language. What |

| for you or if you know tailoring you can stitch it at | | | | person's language, he is the mediator. And that's what |
| home.Where as: Cloth is Computer Language | | | | the computer Operating System is doing.It is very |
| Tailor is Computer programmer | | | | interesting that the thing from which OS has comes |
| Shirt/Paint is Computer applicationExample of | | | | out still require OS to run on. In other words all |
| languages are:C | | | | languages and applications require a platform which is |
| C++ | | | | nothing but OS. So that conclusion on any computer |
| Fortran | | | | first should have OS than you can have language or |
| Cobol | | | | application on it.Example of some of the Operating |
| Pascal | | | | Systems:Windows |
| Perl | | | | Unix |
| Assembly Language | | | | Apple Mach |
| Machine Language | | | | Ban |
| JavaAPPLICATION:Software applications are user | | | | VMS |
| friendly and most of the time it is custom made for the | | | | RS |
| end-user. Because it serving a specific purpose so it is | | | | OS2 |
| having its own limits and bounds. It will not work | | | | IRIX |
| beyond its bounding, for example if you want design | | | | AIX |
