Definition of Terms APPICATION SOFTWARE WORD PROCESSING SOFTWARE SPREADSHEET SOFTWARE PRESENTATION SOFTWARE DATABASE SOFTWARE SOFTWARE SYSTEM SOFTWARE OPERATING SYSTEM DEVICE DRIVERS UTILITY SOFTWARE
SOFTWARE is a series of related instructions, organized to perform some specific task or used to operate a computer. It is also called a Program .
It directs all the peripheral devices on a computer system what to do and how to perform work. Without the software, a user can’t operate hardware and perform any calculations. The computer system can be divided into three components: the hardware, the software and the users. SOFTWARE
These software comes from a Software Developer in a form of a CD or Compact Disc). A user interacts with a program through its a graphical user interface or GUI (pronounced as gooey), the user is able to interact with the software using text, graphics, and visual images such as icons. An Icon is a miniature image representing a program, an instruction, a file or some other object. Software is divided into two parts: system software and application software. SOFTWARE
SYSTEM SOFTWARE consists of programs that control or maintain the operations of the computer and its devices.
Three basic components of a system software are the operating system, device drivers and utility software. SYSTEM SOFTWARE
OPERATING SYSTEM is a set of programs that coordinates all the activities among computer hardware devices.
It provides a means for users to communicate with the computer and other software. They handle the control and use of hardware resources, disk space, memory, CPU(Central Processing Unit), time allocation and peripheral devices. Every computer must have an operating system to run other programs. OPERATING SYSTEM
DEVICE DRIVERS are specialized software programs that allow input and output devices to communicate with the rest of the computer system.
UTILITY SOFTWARE allows a user to perform maintenance-type tasks usually related to managing a computer, its devices or its programs.
They are used to support, enhance or expand existing programs in a computer system. There are utility programs that can be bought that allows you to perform additional computer management functions. Examples of utility software are antivirus, backup software, compression utility, disk checkers, disk partition editors, debuggers, memory tester, network monitors, registry cleaners and etc. UTILITY SOFTWARE
APPLICATION SOFTWARE is any program or group of programs that is capable of dealing with user inputs and helps the user to complete the task.
It is either be installed or access online. It can be a single program or a group of small programs that referred to as an application suite consists of programs designed to make users more productive and/or assist them with personal tasks. Example of application software includes Word processing software, spreadsheets software, presentation, graphics, CAD/CAM, sending email and etc. Many other types of application software exist that enable users to perform. APPLICATION SOFTWARE
Examples of Application Software: Word Processing Software Spreadsheet Software Presentation Software Database Software Multimedia Software
WORD PROCESSING SOFTWARE is used to manipulate and format text, creates memos, letters, faxes and documents.
Word Processor provides a list of features like thesaurus, find and replace features that enable users to scan and replace, modify fonts, word art to animate titles and many more.
SPREADSHEET SOFTWARE is used to perform and manipulate calculations.
The data in a spreadsheet is stored in a cell. A cell is a grid of columns and rows. It provides formulas and function to perform calculations like arithmetic operations, logical operations and text operations.
PRESENTATION SOFTWARE a program that shows the information in the form of slides.
To make these slides more informative, text, graphics video and images are added. The three components of Presentation software are: text editor for inputting and formatting text, inserting graphics, text, video and other multimedia files slideshow to display the information. This software helps the presenter to present their ideas with ease and visual information easy to understand.
DATABASE SOFTWARE is a collection of data related to any applications.
For this purpose, we used database software after we operate the application data is accessed from the database, and after manipulation, it gets back to keep in the database. The DBMS(Database Management System) Software tool is used for storing, modifying extracting and looking for information within a database. Examples of database application software are MySQL, MS Access, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle.
Multimedia Software It is a combination of text, graphics, audio and multimedia software used in the editing of video, audio and text. Multimedia software used in the growth of business, educations, information, remote system and entertainment.
