At the dawn of the development of computer technology, the concept of programming languages and sequences of commands created with their help appeared, which later became known as applications. In fact, these are software products (namely software). That is, a given set of commands allows you to perform a particular task or to ensure the functioning of the computer system as a whole. What are they like?
Software products: basic classification
We will make a reservation right away: we will not climb into the jungle of computer technology, but we will try to figure out what the programs are and what they are, in simple language, so to speak.
Today, there are several types of software classification, or software. Among the main types distinguish:
- system software;
- application software.

In conclusion, it remains to say that, of course, these are far from all the software products that can be found today.
