Software is a set of detailed program intructions that control and coordinate the  hardware
components  of a computer and control the operations of a computer system.Into this we can find
two types of software:System software and application software.

During the first days of the era of computers,the software is being developed as an adapter.The
majority of software is developed and was used for the same person and organization.the same
person writed it ,ran it and if this failed the person just removed it .The systems computer are
based on the size of the decentralized endpoints.The multiprogram and multi-purpose systems
introduce new hidden communication concepts -machine.
The distribution system,computerized computers,each one operates concurrent activities and
communicates with each other.Description of individual computations and software
programs,heading to the collective  impact of computers and software.

Software is created via programming. Programming is the process of creating a set of logical
instructions for a digital device to follow using a programming language. The process of
programming is sometimes called “coding” because the syntax of a programming language is not
in a form that everyone can understand – it is in “code.” 

The process of developing good software is usually not as simple as sitting down and writing
some code. True, sometimes a programmer can quickly write a short program to solve a need.
But most of the time, the creation of software is a resource-intensive process that involves
several different groups of people in an organization. In the following sections, we are going to
review several different methodologies for software development.
We are goignto return with the two types od software because it is better give more
explanation of it for that reason we start with System software is a generalized set of programs
that manages computer resources,such as the central processor, communications links, and
peripheral devices. Programmers who writesystem software are called system programmers.
About application software we can say that it is the set of programs written by companies or
individual or team users and instructing the computer to perform a task specific. Programmers
who write application software are called application programmers.

When we say application software into it we are talking about Programming languages with
they are used to write programs that allow user / machine communication. Special programs
called translators (compilers or interpreters) convert the instructions written in programming
languages in instructions written in machine languages (0 and 1, bits) that the machine can
understand.
Programming languages are used to write programs. Modern computer programs consist of
sequences of instructions that are encoded as sequences of numerical digits that can understand
such computers.
