Some Other Types of Applications
Discover how different types of applications work, including systems software like operating systems that manage hardware, programming software with tools for developers, and dynamic serverless applications hosted in the cloud that adjust resources automatically. This lesson provides insights into the role and function of these varied software types in modern computing.
We'll cover the following...
