first thing begins to interact with the user, this application software.Examples can be found on each computer.They are an indispensable tool for work or fun person.Of course, applications are not designed to build or other utilities, for example, lead disk maintenance system.They are something else.
Each program addresses the nature oriented to application in various areas of computing.It simplifies the work of any kind.In fact, all applications can be divided into several categories:
- Text editors.Clearly, what is happening here to view, edit or set of printed text.
- Word Processors.More functional program, unlike the previous one, because it has all the functions and can be used while working with text are not text files, for example, pictures, tables or pictures.However, if the text editor easily aligned with each other, the processor - no as they record different information, and do not have a pure text.The main example performs MS Word, but there are others.
- Publishing systems.As the name suggests, you can see that they are used in order to unite the general text and graphic drawings in the layout ready to print magazines or newspapers.A common example - Adobe PageMaker.
- Graphic editors.Simple programs that operate on a word processor, but only with graphics.Most of them are not intended to create images, they focus mainly on the editing (Paint), but there are more professional version (Adobe RhotoShop).
- DBMS (database management).These applications are used to
order to simplify the work of the man with the electronic data, they automate the process.As an example, consider the FoxPro, or Paradox.
All of the above are general-purpose applications, they are used by everyone.But among them there are those who are focused on professionals in a particular field.
In recent years become popular packages such programs.They are a few tools incorporated in a resource base.On the one hand, this approach is quite convenient, and with another - more advanced users often do not work in the framework of only one resource base.They were taken from all convenient for them.Packaging assumes uniformity of programs, their similar interface makes it easier to understand the principle of operation of each product.Therefore, if the user is a beginner, he is advised to choose a package that can replace it later.In addition, using a single database is much easier to work with multiple components at the same time as the incompatibility is eliminated.
Applications used absolutely everyone from high school students who need to write a paper or report, and ending with a professional designer.That is why the introduction to the potential of these developments should be initiated as early as possible.
