1. Application Programming Microsoft offers a basic
Interface (API) for Win32: collection of APIs for application development to create Windows apps, known as the Win32 API. It has features for managing memory, handling files, creating GUIs, and more.
2. The.NET Framework: Microsoft created the.NET
software framework, which is pronounced dot-net. For creating Windows applications, the.NET framework offers an extensive programming paradigm. It has support for several languages, including VB.NET, F#, and C#, and comes with a Common Language Runtime (CLR) to control how programs run. 3. Direct-X: Microsoft created DirectX, a set of APIs, for tasks relating to multimedia, including gaming and video playback. It gives programmers low-level access to audio and visual hardware so they may create high-performing multimedia apps.
MacOS
1. Cocoa and Touch of Developing applications for
Cocoa: MacOS requires using the major application programming interface, Cocoa. An addition to Cocoa for iOS programming is Cocoa Touch. It has frameworks for managing data, processing events, and creating graphical user interfaces.
2. Metal: Apple's low-level graphics
API, known as Metal, is intended for high-performance graphics rendering on iOS and Mac platforms. Because it gives developers direct access to the GPU, they can efficiently construct programs with a lot of graphics. 3. Programming Language Apple created the Swift: programming language Swift so that developers could create programs for watchOS, tvOS, iOS, and MacOS. It is now the language of choice for many Apple developers because of its contemporary, quick, and safe architecture.
Linux
1. Portable Operating System The application programming
Interface, or POSIX: interface (API) for Linux and other UNIX-like operating systems is defined by the POSIX family of standards. For operations like file input/output, process management, and interprocess communication, it offers a standardized set of functions.
2. Qt and GTK: Popular widget toolkits for
creating graphical user interfaces on Linux include Qt and GTK (GIMP Toolkit). While Qt is utilized by KDE, GTK is typically linked to the GNOME desktop environment. A collection of libraries and tools for GUI development are offered by both. 3. Kernel Modules for Linux: Code modules, or bits of code that may be dynamically loaded into the Linux kernel, are supported by Linux. Kernel modules allow developers to expand or add features at the kernel level.
