PROCESSING
• The term software refers to the instruction that control the operation of the computer hardware it has three major functions:
• 1. it allows the effective application of hardware to problem solving
• 2.It allows efficient management of computer resource
• 3. it Is the inheritance between he user or organization and its stored information
Types of software
• System software
• Application software
Application software in one of three ways
• Individual programs: have a single purpose and a single function
• Integrated packages: combine a range if key software types. Such as word processing , spreadsheet….
• Software suites: combine a range of individual packages into a system that integrates the features from all packages but sill provide full functionality in each application
System software
• This allows the user to interact with the computer and the peripherals that plug into it
Components of system sofware
• 1. ram: contains a permanent instruction
• 2. device drivers: are programs that allows communication between the cpu and peripheral devices such as the mouse and the printer.
• 3.Operating system: are the collection of programs that perform and manage the function of the computer.
Application software
• Word processors: the most and widely used software
• Spreadsheet: allows you to organized numeric data on a worksheet or spreadsheet.
• Database management software: is a collection of structured data in which records related to a certain entity such as person, book or item of stock.
Database management structure
• Relational database: data is viewed as a collection of linked tables. They are linked through unique key that is commom to all of them.
Network model: this structure is very similar to hierarchical model except the possible for lower level to more than one parent level.
• Object oriented: this structure is s multi media approach in which the user navigates through the data stored by clicking on objects.
Desktop publishing ( DTP)
• Allows the user to produce complete publication using computer hardware and software.
Graphic software: painting, drawing, and photo editing
• Painting software: is generally used to create manually drawn bi mapped graphics which are formed by series of dots called pixels.
• Drawing programs: allows free hand drawing and object manipulation
• Photo editing: allows image manipulation at very sophisticated level
CAD/CAM
Computer aided design is now common place in many architectural, mapping, mechanical, and engineering organization. It is used in highly technical graphic drawing
Presentation graphic
• Software that has been around for more than a decade demand from the business community promoted its development and use. it helps us efficiently of organized the information and effectively communicate with others.
Personal information managers PIM
• Is one of the newest and fastest growing software areas it integrates all the features of hand written diary or organizer as well as man automated information management tools into a system that promises to organize every part of your life.
Groupware
• Enables work related task to be coordinated throughout a network as way as increasing team productivity
Project management
• Project management involves planning organizing directing, controlling resources (such as equipment and people) to meet objective by set of date within the budget
Multi media authoring tools
• Combines a range of media ( data types) including sound, graphics, text, animation, and video into an east friendly environment.
communications
• electronic mail, or e mail as it commonly called, involves the communication of data over a network.
Web browser
• A web browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web.
Web development software
• One of the growth publishing areas in web publishing. Many organization are now in the internet or are in the process of doing so. This is becoming a very important communication medium for many organization.
Programming language environment
• Underlying software is a programming language. Programming languages send messages to the CPU as each action is required. However they can be used in independently of the software.
End!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
