There are several varieties of computer programs, but the ones most of us are familiar with are the applications. An application is a program you use to get some practical work done, such as word processing or accounting or illustrating. Programs such as WordPerfect, PageMaker, Excel, and Illustrator are all examples of applications. Programs such as Adobe Type Manager or Suitcase are utilities because we don't create work with them—they just help you manage your computer system.
The programs that you run on the computer to perform the tasks that you require.
Software used for a specific purpose, eg textual document processing software(word processing), text and graphic printed presentation (desktop publishing), numerical analysis processing (spreadsheets), record and transaction processing (databases), computer-aided design and graphic drawing (vector graphics), graphics/artwork processing (bitmap graphics), slide/picture presentation (bitmap graphics), accounts processing. Some software integrates several of the above uses in one package.
These are computer software packages which create digital files that are used in the printing process. Desktop publishing packages include Quark Xpress, Adobe lndesign, Ventura, 3B2. Illustration packages include Adobe illustrator, Freehand, Coreldraw. From the digital file created on the desktop further software is used to ensure all the files are included for printing - at Headleys we use Flightcheck. Imposition software used is Farrukh.
Computer program with a user interface that is designed for a specific purpose or task: A spreadsheet program is dedicated to the construction of spreadsheets.
1. Software programmes - Word processors, spreadsheets, web browsers etc. 2. Practical uses for hardware and software.
Complete, self-contained programs that perform a specific function (ie. spreadsheets, databases)
A program or group of programs including database programs, word processors, and spreadsheets.
are any software that is launched. When we test software or web sites, we use tools which record any software application launch such as a pop up blockers or a DLL.
Software programs or executables are often called applications.
These are the various programs that are currently running on the computer. By taking turns with the Machine Cycle, modern computers can have several different programs running at once. This is called multi-tasking. Each open application has to have some data stored in Main Memory, even if the application is on rest break and is just sitting there. Some programs (graphics programs are notorious for this) require a lot of the Main Memory space, and may not give it up even if they are shut down! Rather rude, actually
A program that gives a computer instructions that provide the user with tools to accomplish a task; 'he has tried several different word processing applications'
Software designed and written to solve a problem or create a Web-based environment through dynamic page generation or system tasks.
A computer program written for a specific purpose, such as word processing or page layout.
Describes the wide array of software that add a dynamic functionality to the a website. It includes services from the more basic to the vastly complex.
Software programs that perform a specific user-oriented task, such as word processing or payroll. Applications can be either purchased as a package, or custom designed by a programmer.
The term "applications" or "business applications" refers to the software systems that are used to automate otherwise manual processes within your company. Examples of applications include payroll, accounts payable, CRM software, time reporting, inventory management, etc. In some companies these entities might be referred to as "systems". Applications can be internally developed or they can be packages purchased from an outside vendor.
software on your computer that does basic user tasks, like word processing, accounting, etc.
