1 Unit 29 Installing and Upgrading Software Level 3

2 Todays Session What is software? Types of software Software uses

3 What is software? Software is a collection of instructions that enable the user to interact with a computer, its hardware, or perform tasks. Without software, computers would be useless. For example, without your Internet browser, you could not surf the Internet or read this page and without an operating system, the browser could not run on your computer. The picture to the right is a Microsoft Excel software box and an example of a spreadsheet software program.

4 Software categories Software can be categorised according to what it is designed to accomplish. There are two main types of software: Systems software Application software.

5 Software examples Software

6 Systems software Systems software includes the programs that are dedicated to managing the computer itself, such as the operating system, file management utilities, and disk operating system (or DOS). The operating system manages the computer hardware resources in addition to applications and data. Without systems software installed in our computers we would have to type the instructions for everything we wanted the computer to do!

7 Application software Application software, or simply applications, are often called productivity programs or end-user programs because they enable the user to complete tasks such as creating documents and publications, doing online research, sending s, designing graphics and playing games. Application software is specific to the task it is designed for and can be as simple as a calculator application or as complex as a word processing application. When you begin creating a document, the word processing software has already set the margins, font style and size, and the line spacing for you. For example, the word processor application makes it easy to add colour, headings, and pictures or delete, copy, move, and change the document's appearance to suit your needs.

8 Examples of software Although software is thought of as a program, it can be anything that runs on a computer. Task pick 5 examples of Systems software and 5 examples of Application software. Produce a table of the chosen software, How to access it (price/freeware) Methods of installation (disc/download/usb) Definition and explanation of the software, Finally and example of how it could be used.

9 Software uses System software System software is the term used to describe the programs and files that constitute the operating system, such as Microsoft Windows, Mac OSX or Linux. Operating system tasks include recognising input from the keyboard, sending output to the display, and management of peripherals, such as hard disk drives and printers. System software is responsible for the management and control of computer hardware and basic system operation. System software includes file management tools, assemblers, compilers and debuggers, together with drivers small programs that tell the operating system and other software applications how to interact with hardware and other configuration files.

10 Software uses Application software Word-processor: allows you to create, edit, store and print a range of different text documents; from letters and faxes to books and essays. Spreadsheet: enables you to use formulas to perform a large number of calculations on data stored in cells arranged in rows and columns. You can investigate a mathematical problem, create a budget plan to forecast how much you can save in a year or model the results of a science experiment and draw a chart of your results. Database: uses forms to store data in tables made up of records and fields. The data can be searched using queries in order to find out useful information. It can be used to create anything from an address book to a complex application that produces end of year reports. Graphics program: can be used to create posters, perform image processing in order to improve or alter photographs or create original artwork. DTP software: Desk Top Publishing software allows you to manipulate text and graphics in frames on a page in order to create magazines, brochures and other complex documents. Presentation Software: allows you to create a slideshow to illustrate a talk, or a presentation for other people to investigate as a kiosk application. Communications software: could include a web browser or client software as well as other programs that allow you to communicate with

11 Conclusion Name 2 types of software Give an example of application software What is the difference between application and system software? Give an example of system software Give an example of application software
