Summary • Software - consists of programs that control the workings of the computer hardware • Operating system - set of computer programs that controls the computer hardware • Application - software that applies the power of the computer to solve problems and perform specific tasks • Programming languages - provide instructions to a computer to perform some processing activity Principles of Information Systems, Sixth Edition 50
Principles and Learning Objectives When selecting an operating system, you must consider the current and future for application software to meet the needs of the organization. In addition, your choice of a particular operatiing system must be consistent with your choice of hardware. – IDENTIFY AND DESCRIBE THE FUNCTIONS OF THE TWO BASICS KINDS OF SOFTWARE – OUTLINE THE ROLE OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM AND IDENTIFY THE FEATURES OF SEVERAL POPULAR OPERATING SYSTEMS Principles of Information Systems, Sixth Edition 51
Principles and Learning Objectives • Do not develop proprietary application software unless doing so well meet a compelling business need that can provide a competitive advantage. – DISCUSS HOW APPLICATIONS SOFTWARE CAN SUPPORT PERSONAL, WORKGROUP, AND ENTERPRISE BUSINESS OBJECTIVES. – IDENTIFY 3 BASIC APPROACHES TO DEVELOPING APPLICATIONS SOFTWARE AND DISCUSS THE PROS AND CONS OF EACH. Principles of Information Systems, Sixth Edition 52
Principles and Learning Objectives • The software industry continues to undergo constant change; users need to be aware of recent trends and issues to be effective in their business and personal life. – OUTLINE THE EVOLUTION OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND DIFFERENTIATE AMONG THE FIVE GENERATIONS OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES. – IDENTIFY KEY ISSUES AND TRENDS THAT HAVE AN IMPACT ON ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS.
