Computer software, often called as software, is a set of instructions and its associated documentations that tells a computer what to do or how to perform a task. Example: Ms word, Firefox, Chrome, spread sheets etc.Eee Types Of Computer Software System Software System software is software designed to provide a platform to other software. Application Software Application software is a term which is used for software created for a specific purpose,System Software > The System Software consist of the Operating System and all the utilities that enable the computer to function. QB System software actually controls the hardware so that application software can perform any action or task. Example :- Operating Systems, Compiler, Loader, Linker, Interpreter and etc.Types Of System Software System Software is divided into 3 categories. ® Operating System ® System Support ® System DevelopmentTypes Of System Software(Cont.) + Operating System An operating system is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources and provides common services for computer programs such as application software Exampie:- Windows, Linux etc. 3% System Support System support softwares are those which helps the computer system to communicate, manage or share information with devices connected to it. Exampie- Device Drivers. %# System Development ‘System Development softwares present in the computer system to help the system to Stay up to date or work continuously without any interruption. Example:- Software Update, System Debugger etc.Operating System What is an Operating System ? An operating system (OS), in its most general sense, is software that allows a user to run other applications on a computing device. While it is possible for a software application to interface directly with hardware, the vast majority of applications are written for an OS, which allows them to take advantage of common libraries and not worry about specific hardware details. Example |- Windows QS, Linux OS, Android OS ete. PrinterFunctions Of Operating System > Providing a user Interface » Running applications > Support for built inutility programs ® Control to the computer hardwareTypes Of Operating System @ Single user, Single Task As the name implies, this operating system is designed to manage the computer so that one user can effectively do one thing at a time Example .- The Palm OS © Single user, Multi-tasking An operating system that allows a single user to perform two or more functions at once is a single-user/multitasking operating system Example - Windows OS ®@ Multi user, Multi-tasking Multi-user software is software that allows access by multiple users of a computer Example :- Linux OS~ Operating System Interfaces Command line interface A command-line interface or command language interpreter (CLI), also known as command-line user interface, console user interface and character user interface (CUI), is a means of interacting with a computer program where the user (or client) issues commands to the program in the form of successive lines of text. Graphical user interface The graphical user interface (GUI) is a form of user interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices through graphical icons and visual indicators such as secondary notation, instead of text-based user interfaces.Advantages Of Os” D Easy to use D User friendly ® Intermediate between all hardware's and software's of the system 2D No need to know any technical languages ® \ts the platform of all programs 12Disadvantages Of OS > it any problems affected in OS, you may lose all the contents which have been stored already => Unwanted user can use your own systemApplication Software ®» Application software uses the capacity ofa computer directly for specific tasks and are used to manipulate text, graphics and numbers. Example :- Penetr Word Processor, Spreadsheet and Database ria Management System etc.Types Of Application Software Depending on the level of language used there are different types of application software. Such as - ® Proprietary Types of Application Software ® In-house sy ® Contract —— sane ee ees] % Off-the-shelf | es |e ed ® Customized package evnedenpet] | _conae ® Standard package 15,Types Of Application Software(Cont.) *® Proprietary Proprietary software is a licensed software under exclusive legal right of owner. % In-house In In-house software we develop application with the help of company resources. * Contract The software which is developed for a specific company for their requirement. a Off-the-shelf ‘An existing software program that can be used without any changes expected. * Customized package Softwares that are customized by the end user with the developer for better usability. a Standard package Standers package softwares contains all the necessary protocols and attributes that user or a corporation needs . 16Some Attributes in Computer Software * Programming Languages x Copyrights and Licenses Sa tes + Open-Source Software ioenl wt trian | | a seers | * Software Upgrades * Software BugsProgramming Languages => Sets of keywords, symbols, and a system of rules for constructing statements by which humans can communicate instructions to be executed by a computer => Different languages have different characteristics => Syntax: a set of rules associated with a programming languageCopyrights and Licenses W® Most software products are protected by law using copyright and licensing provisions B® In some cases users are given ultimate use of software in one or more computers B® In other cases users needs to pay for the software services for a limited period of time and after that users needs to may more ® Some software's now requires users to register their software before its fully useOpen Source Software © Open-source software are software freely available to anyone in a form that can be easily modified © Widely used open-source software packages: Linux OS, Free BSD, Apache, Sendmail, Perl © Open-source software is often more reliable and secure than commercial software © Open-source systems can contain hidden costs, particularly for user support or solving problems with the software 20Software Updates © Software companies revise their programs and sell new versions periodically © Revised software may or may not offer any major additional capabilities © Revised software can contain bugs or errors © Software upgrades usually cost much less than the original purchase priceSoftware Bugs i Software bugs are the defect in a computer program that keeps it from performing as it is designed to perform Tips for reducing impact of softwarebugs :- * Register all software so that you can receive bug alerts, fixes, and patches * Check the manual or read-me files for work-arounds * Access support area of the manufacturer's Web site for patches * Install the latest software updates 22Conclusion Although there are different types of Computer Software and operating systems. These software and operating systems used in different sectors. Their operating process is also different. Some types of Software works Graphically, some works on Database Management System and some OS works on multiple or single user interfaces, some on Word Processors etc. Day by day softwares are upgrading and by each day operating system and software's are becoming more and more user friendly and much more satisfying to use.Any Questions ? t er, “« 5»
