They write programs in programming languages such as C, C#, C++, Java, Javascript, ActionScript, HTML5(not quite yet), BASIC, Xcode, Assembly (nobody in their right mind would though...), Ruby on Rails, Python, C-Lite, Objective-C, and many others. Most use an IDE, an intergrated development environment.

In principle, the programmer can use any text processor - for example, NotePad (though better options exist, such as NotePad++).However, in practice a programmer will often use an IDE (integrated development environment), which offers access to most tools the programmer needs (such as editor, compiler, output window, source control, etc.) in a single interface.

What is a software application program?

A Computer Program (also software, or just a program) is a sequence of instructions written to perform a specified task with a computer. A computer requires programs to function, typically executing the program's instructions in a Central Processor. The program has an executable form that the computer can use directly to execute the instructions. The same program in its human-readable source code form, from which executable programs are derived enables a programmer to study and develop its algorithms.

Loading a new software program onto the computer?

There are many different ways to find information on loading a new software program onto your computer. If that particular program did not come with directions, try visiting the manufacturer's website for instructions, or instructions on how to get installation instructions.


How software works?

In order to understand how software works, you must first understand how computers "think". Computers think using a system of 1's and 0's in order to represent numbers, letters, and instructions from a program. This is called machine code, or binary. Machine code is the "native" language of a computer, as it is the only language the computer can understand. Every internal instruction inside the computer is written in machine code. In order for software to "work", a programmer must first specify the instructions needed in order to make it function properly. These instructions are usually written in a high-level programming language such as C++, which has a high level of abstraction, or a low-level programming language such as assembly language, which has a low level of abstraction. Either way, the computer cannot directly interpret these instructions by themselves, so the programmer converts them into machine code using a program called a compiler. After the program is developed by the programmer and compiled into machine code, the computer can now understand the instructions inside the program and executes them. For instance, the string of binary 1011001 might add the number 1 to a special purpose register. There is a lot more information on how software works and this is just the basics.

What is software installation?

the process of shoving suff into your computer, slowing the download and sharing of all shareware, and other leeching programs that made. Software is the information or instructions that are written as a set of processes called a program. This program or software is installed on the hard-drive of your computer and the computer's brain or processor follow these programming instructions to run processes selected by you. Software installation is the process of transferring the information/program from the disc to the hard-drive
