- TYPES OF APPLICATION SOFTWARE
- What is Application Software?
Application software utilizes the capacities of a computer directly to a dedicated task. Application software is able to manipulate text, numbers and graphics. - Word Processing Software:
This software enables the users to create and edit documents.
MS-Word, WordPad, Notepad and some other text editors. - Spreadsheet Software:
Spreadsheet software allows users to perform calculations. They simulate paper worksheets by displaying multiple cells that make up a grid.
Excel, Lotus 1-2-3 and Apple Numbers . - Presentation Software:
The software that is used to display information in the form of a slide show is known as presentation software.
Microsoft PowerPoint - Database Software:
Database software allows the users to store and retrieve data from databases.
Oracle, MSAccess, etc. - Multimedia Software:
They allow the users to create and play audio and video media. They are capable of playing media files.
Real Player and Media Player.

Types of Application Software
Types of Application Software:
Word Processing Software: Allows users to create, edit a document. Example: MS Word, Word Pad etc.
Spreadsheet Software: Allows users to create document and perform calculation. Example: Excel, Lotus1-2-3 etc.
Database Software: Allows users to store and retrieve vast amount of data. Example: MS Access, MySQL, Oracle etc.
Presentation Graphic Software: Allows users to create visual presentation. Example: MS Power Point
Multimedia Software: Allows users to create image, audio, video etc. Example: Real Player, Media Player etc.
Application Software
Also known as Apps, this is a program or group of programs designed for end users. Apps are often referred to as "Software" and can be divided into two general classes: systems software and applications software. Systems software consists of low-level programs that interact with the computer at a very basic level. This includes operating systems, compilers, and utilities for managing computer resources.
In contrast, applications software (also called end-user programs) include database programs, word processors, and spreadsheets. Practically speaking, applications software resides above systems software, because it is unable to run without the operating system and system utilities.
Application Software
Application software, also known as an application or an "app", is computer software designed to help the user to perform specific tasks. Examples include enterprise software, accounting software, office suites, graphics software and media players. Many application programs deal principally with documents. Apps may be bundled with the computer and its system software, or may be published separately. Some users are satisfied with the bundled apps and need never install one.
Application software is contrasted with system software and middleware, which manage and integrate a computer's capabilities, but typically do not directly apply them in the performance of tasks that benefit the user. The system software serves the application, which in turn serves the user.
Similar relationships apply in other fields. For example, a shopping mall does not provide the merchandise a shopper is seeking, but provides space and services for retailers that serve the shopper. Rail tracks similarly support trains, allowing the trains to transport passengers.
Application software applies the power of a particular computing platform or system software to a particular purpose. Some apps such as Microsoft Office are available in versions for several different platforms; others have narrower requirements and are thus called, for example, a Geographyapplication for Windows or an Android application for education or Linux gaming. Sometimes a new and popular application arises which only runs on one platform, increasing the desirability of that platform. This is called a killer application

After 15 weeks learning Science Computer, I ....
were very excited to learn more about computer. Since i had learned about science computer, i knew a lot about computer component. Furthermore, I also had knowlegdes about computer software and hardware, the Internet and how to distributed my own web page. Besides that, during practical class, i had been taught on how to use word processing, data presentation and spreadsheet by Miss Aunah, who was one of the excellent science computer lecturer at KMPk. Thank you very much Miss Aunah. Not enough with tutorial and practical class, I also learned with my roommates, who had many experience with the computer a long time ago.
Later on, with my experience on science computer, I used it on my daily life.
