II. Key Concepts

SOFTWARE FUNDAMETALS

For Illustration

The term 'software' refers to the set of electronic program instructions

or data a computer processor reads in order to perform a task or operation.
In contrast, the term 'hardware' refers to the physical components that you
can see and touch, such as the computer hard drive, mouse, and keyboard.
(Study.com, 2003)

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. (coursehero.com, 2020)

Computer software is defined as a set of programs and procedures

that are intended to perform specific tasks on a computer system. A software
program is a set of instructions that are aimed at changing the state of
computer hardware. (academia.edu, 2021)
 Software can be categorized according to what it is designed to
accomplish. There are two main types of software: systems software and
application software. (study.com, 2003)
A. SYSTEMS SOFTWARE

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. (infomax, 2021)
Systems software includes the programs that are dedicated to
managing the computer itself, such as the operating system, file
management utilities, and disk operating system (or DOS). The operating
system manages the computer hardware resources in addition to
applications and data. Without systems software installed in our computers
we would have to type the instructions for everything we wanted the
computer to do! (study.com, 2003)

Example: Operating Systems (MS Windows, UNIX, Linux, Macintosh

etc...), Device Drivers etc...

For Illustration

B. APPLICATION SOFTWARE
A software which is developed to help the user to perform specific
tasks is called application software. It 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. (academia.edu, 2021)

Application software is a term which is used for software created for a

specific purpose. It is generally a program or collection of programs used by
end users. It can be called an application or simply an app.

Application software, or simply applications, are often called

productivity programs or end-user programs because they enable the user to
complete tasks, such as creating documents, spreadsheets, databases and
publications, doing online research, sending email, designing graphics,
running businesses, and even playing games! (Home works pool, 2021)
Application software is specific to the task it is designed for and can be as
simple as a calculator application or as complex as a word processing
application. (Quizlet.com, 2021) When you begin creating a document, the
word processing software has already set the margins, font style and size,
and the line spacing for you. But you can change these settings, and you
 have many more formatting options available. For example, the word
processor application makes it easy to add color, headings, and pictures or
delete, copy, move, and change the document's appearance to suit your
needs. (SmartKeeda.com, 2017)

Ex: Banking Applications, Insurance Applications, ERP, and E-

Commerce Apps etc.
