Understanding Software: Types, Uses, and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)

This overview delves into the various types of software essential for computing. Operating systems transform hardware into functional computers, while application software allows us to perform necessary tasks and cannot function without an OS. Software is categorized into generic (like spreadsheets), specialist (like accounting), bespoke (custom-developed solutions), and utilities (task-specific tools like virus checkers). All software is crafted using programming software, highlighting the importance of coding in the digital landscape.

  5. Summary • Operating systems turn electronic parts into computers we can use. • Applications software lets us perform the tasks we need to do. It cannot run without an operating system. • Generic software is multi-purpose, such as spreadsheets. • Specialist software has a single purpose, such as accounts. • Bespoke software is specially written, like passport application processing. • Utilities software does useful things, like checking for viruses. • All the software packages above are written in code which is generated by programming software.
