Programming technology and creation of software product
Software is the essential key to enable the working of any computer system. Creating software involves using the right programming language that will enable the hardware to work efficiently, thus achieving the goals that are assigned to it. The process of software creation goes through SDLC in which it is guaranteed that the software is appropriately tested and that it meets the requirements of the client. Creating software involves various phases or cycles which are called Software Development Life Cycles (SDLC). SDLC enable the software engineer, client, tester and consumer to configure in the right kind of software that is needed for a particular purpose. A software can be created for various services which include; insurance, banking, tourism, hotel management and other important industries. Since the 1950s, computer scientists have devised thousands of programming languages. Many are obscure, perhaps created for a Ph.D. thesis and never heard of since. Others became popular for a while then faded due to lack of support.
