SOFTWARE CLASSIFICATION

The software can generally be in for the second type of software systems and applications software. The software system can be in for another three types:

1. Programming language: it is the duty of software architecture and algorithms that convert the design into a format that humans can run a computer, examples of which programming language: BASIC, COBOL, Pascal, C + +, FORTRAN
2. Operating system: when the computer is first in the turn, the system first operasilah
on the run, the operating system that regulates the entire process, translates the input, manage internal processes, memanejemen memory usage and provides output to equipment
corresponding, for example operating systems: DOS, Unix, Windows 1995, IMB OS / 2, Apple's System

3. Utility: the operating system is a software system with certain functions, such as examination of the hardware (hardware troubleshooting), inspect a damaged floppy disk (not physically damaged), rearrange the contents of your hard disk (partition, defrag), an example is Norton Utility Utilty

The application software is part of the software is very much in the encounter and continue to grow. Before the 1990s the applications in familiar word processor (Word Star, Chi Write), processor table (Lotus 123, Quatro Pro), database (dBase) and entertainment (games). In the development of word processing, database tables and is currently in the bundle into office applications with the additional application for making presentations will be provided later in this training. Examples of office applications is Microsoft Office which consists of Word (word processing), Excel (processing tables), Access (database) and PowerPoint (presentation). Growing very much at this time is a multimedia and Internet applications. Examples of multimedia applications is the Winamp to play music files between MP3 or CD Audio, then RealPlayer which can be used for watching movies or VCDs. Internet applications in use are common for browsing, e-mail, chats and messenger.

Applications that are special to help them work like AutoCAD Engineer (structural drawings), Protel (images of electronic circuits), and Matlab (processing and visualization of mathematical equations).
