SOFTWARE The Product

Computer software is the product that software professionals build. It encompasses programs that execute within a computer of any size and architecture, documents that encompass hardcopy and virtual forms, and data that encompasses numbers and text, but also includes representations of pictorial, video, and audio information.

Computers are fast becoming our way of life and one cannot imagine life without computers in today’s world. You go to a railway station for reservation, you want to web site a ticket for a cinema, you go to a library, or you go to a bank, you will find computers at all places. Since computers are used in every possible field today, it becomes an important issue to understand and build these computerized systems in an effective way.


Building such systems is not an easy process but requires certain skills and capabilities to understand and follow a systematic procedure towards making of any information system.
