Examples of software in the following topics:
-
- New ways of developing and using software have led to higher efficiency and productivity through greater interaction between users.
- Google Docs are a particularly popular and easy to use set of collaborative softwares.
- Collaborative software has produced major gains in productivity.
- Agile software development is a group of software development methods based on iterative and incremental development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams.
- Each iteration involves a team working through a full software development cycle when a working product is demonstrated to stakeholders.
-
- One of the prevailing issues with using open source software rather than software you purchase is the level of support you can expect from the software's creator.
- NetSuite (www.netsuite.com) NetSuite is in a category of software called "software as a service" (SaaS).
- In the SaaS model, the software resides on the servers of the software provider rather than on the using the organization's computer.
- The advantages of this model are that users never have to worry about software and data backups or software updates.
- These functions are provided at the software company's data centers.
-
- Presentation software is a computer software package used to display information, normally in the form of a slide show.
- The software typically includes three major functions:
- Users can also use a free, basic version of the software.
- Google Docs is now a part of Google Drive's "software as a service" office suite.
- Describe the different software programs available as an alternative to PowerPoint
-
- Although "free software" covers almost exactly the same range of software as "open source", the FSF, among others, prefers the former term because it emphasizes the idea of freedom, and the concept of freely redistributable software as primarily a social movement rather than a technical one.
- Free software under another name.
- The Debian Free Software Guidelines are the requirements that a software package's license must meet in order to be included in Debian.
- The OSI's definition of open source software is based on the Debian Free Software Guidelines, and any license that meets one definition almost always meets the other.
- Free software can be commercial software.
-
- Improvements in software can largely be attributed to the implementation of software development models.
- A third model is known as agile software development.
- The feedback is driven by regular tests and releases of the evolving software.
- A diagram laying out the steps in the spiral model of software development.
- Outline the recent technology trends in both hardware and software improvements
-
- Read Licenses, Copyrights, and Patents to understand the detailed legal implications of the different licenses, and how the license you choose can affect people's ability to mix your software with other software.
- The terms "free software license" and "open source license" are essentially synonymous, and I treat them so throughout this book.
- Technically, the former term refers to licenses confirmed by the Free Software Foundation as offering the "four freedoms" necessary for free software (see gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html), while the latter term refers to licenses approved by the Open Source Initiative as meeting the Open Source Definition (opensource.org/osd).
- However, if you read the FSF's definition of free software, and the OSI's definition of open source software, it becomes obvious that the two definitions delineate the same freedoms — not surprisingly, as the section called ""Free" Versus "Open Source"" in Introduction explains.
- There are a great many free software licenses to choose from.
-
- Malware, short for malicious (or malevolent) software, is software used or created by attackers to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive information, or gain access to private computer systems.
- It can appear in the form of code, scripts, active content, and other software.
- Malware is not the same as defective software, which is software that has a legitimate purpose but contains harmful bugs that were not corrected before release.
- An example of this is software used for harmless purposes that is packed with additional tracking software that gathers marketing statistics.
- When the user installs the software, the spyware is installed along with it.
-
- For these reasons, it is common to use statistical software to calculate the F statistic and p-value.
-
- I have seen free software project web sites where the front page not only did not say which particular free license the software was distributed under, but did not even state outright that the software was free at all.
- In extreme cases, the license was not given anywhere on the web site at all—the only way to find it was to download the software and look at a license file inside.
- State up front, right below the mission statement, that the project is "free software" or "open source software", and give the exact license.
