Software
The subject "Software" provides an overview of the different types of software, their availability on different devices, the production and distribution processes and the communication between software programs.
There are two main categories of software: system software, such as operating systems and drivers, and application software, such as word processing programs and games. Software is available on various devices, including desktop computers, mobile devices and embedded systems. There is both platform-independent software and platform-specific applications.
Software is produced using various development processes such as agile and the waterfall model. Version control and continuous integration/deployment (CI/CD) are crucial for efficient software development. Software can be distributed on-premises, cloud-based or as a mobile app.
Software communicates with each other via interfaces such as APIs and webhooks. These enable the integration of services and real-time notification between different applications.
This module comprehensively prepares participants to understand and use software in practice.
