CHAPTER 3 : BASIC APPLICATION SOFTWARE

General-purpose and productivity applications are examples of basic application software. Nearly every discipline and occupation make use of these programmes. The most prevalent types of basic application software include word processors, spreadsheets, database management systems, and presentation graphics. Application software is specialized software that is created for a single purpose rather than a broad application domain. Thousands of other programmmes that are more specifically focused on specific subjects and occupations make up specialized software. Graphic design software, audio, and video editors, multimedia creation software, web authoring software, and virtual reality software are all examples of specialist software.
