  1. Software: Systems and Application Software Chapter 4 Principles of Information Systems, Sixth Edition

  2. Principles and Learning Objectives • When selecting an operating system, you must consider the current and future needs for application software to meet the needs of the organization. In addition, your choice of a particular operating system must be consistent with your choice of hardware. • Identify & describe the functions of the 2 basic kinds of software. • Outline the role of the operating system & identify the features of several popular operating systems. Principles of Information Systems, Sixth Edition

  3. Principles and Learning Objectives • Do not develop proprietary application software unless doing so will meet a compelling business need that can provide a competitive advantage. • Discuss how applications software can support personal, workgroup, and enterprise business objectives. • Identify 3 basic approaches to developing applications software and discuss the pros and cons of each. Principles of Information Systems, Sixth Edition

  4. Principles and Learning Objectives • Choose a programming language whose functional characteristics are appropriate to the task at hand, taking into consideration the skills and experience of the programming staff. • Outline the evolution of programming languages. • The software industry continues to undergo constant change; users need to be aware of recent trends and issues to be effective in their business and personal life. • Differentiate among the five generations of programming languages.
