There is so much to application software, that I have not a clue about. It makes a lot of sense that if you do not have software then your computer is just a bunch of metal and wires, with a screen that would be blank. I have see code for web sites and have even tried to do create my own web page. I know that simple web pages of code are like an inch compared to a mile when it comes to writing code for software. Here is a quick video on software engineers, with permission standard youtube licencse...
I thought that software was just Microsoft office, turbo tax, visual basic, and so on. Well technically it is, but it is only one type of software. First it takes some type of operating system to be able to support software or to make it work, this I knew. I am a windows user, I never got into linux or MAC OS X, I always bought Dell and they come preloaded with windows.
I only use application software, this is the work of a single user on a single computer. At my office I have come to find out that they use enterprise software, which supports multiple users across an business or an organization. After I get this degree I may venture off to computer school and learn more especially after being with my company for so long it only makes, sense, I do work in the office of technology for my company.
Another thing that struck an interest this week was 9.4 in the info systems book on distributed computing, how southwest added other features to their site by linking it to other car and hotel sites. There is a bigger problem with this and it is security, which they talked about adding more and more doors to an already existing system and now having to protect each one of them.
