Development software cannot be attributed to a single person or entity; it is the result of contributions from numerous individuals and organizations over time.It is a broad and diverse category of programming and tools designed to assist in the creation and maintenance of applications, systems, and other types of software. This software is essential in civil engineering because it provides a robust platform for creating designs, managing processes, ensuring proper documentation, and advanced visualization.

Development Software

PYTHON

• t is a programming language commonly used for creating websites and software, automating tasks, and performing data analysis. This means it can be used to develop a wide range of programs and is not specialized in any specific problem.

It is a fundamental tool in civil engineering, as it allows professionals to design, analyze, simulate, and manage construction projects effectively and efficiently.The most useful programs in civil engineering are:

Civil engineering software:

System software:Civil 3DSKETCHUPETABS

Application software:AutoCADSAP2000 STAAD PRO

Development software:CivalgoSolidWorks Revit

Key figures such as Winston Royce and Barry Boehm, who helped formalize the process in the 1970s, influenced how software was documented. This documentation includes a set of documents that specify the characteristics and functions of the softwareThis system allows for effective communication between developers and clients, facilitating the planning and execution of software projects. It includes operating systems that manage hardware and provide a platform for running other applications.

Overview of Systems Software

Systems Software

WINDOWSOperating systems developed by Microsoft, used in personal computers, servers, and mobile devices. Its main function is to serve as an interface between the user and the hardware of the machine, allowing people to interact with the computer more easily and efficiently. The operating system enables users to create, copy, move, rename, and delete files, among other tasks. It is very important for providing a user-friendly graphical interface and managing system resources

• Correct! John Walker, along with a team of twelve programmers, founded Autodesk in 1982 and developed AutoCAD.

It is a set of rules or programs that instruct a computer to perform specific tasks; these are known as application software.John W. Tukey was the first person to bring the concept to life and also used application software in 1957.An application that assists in civil engineering is:

Application Software

AutoCADIt functions by providing a comprehensive platform for technical design, drawing tools, advanced modeling, and editing capabilities.Its precision makes it an essential tool in practice for professionals in fields such as civil engineering, architecture, and others.

According to ADA LOVELACE's notes, the term "software" was coined by JOHN W. TUKEY in 1957, but the concept of "reading successive instructions on Charles Babbage's analytical machine in 1822," on which Ada Lovelace worked and wrote the first algorithm intended to be processed by a machine, published in 1843, includes what many consider the first computer program.

Software is a set of instructions, data, or programs that tell a computer how to perform specific tasks.

SOFTWARE

SYSTEM SOFTWARE: Some examples are: Windows, macOS, Linux.

Application software: Some programs are: Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint.

Development software: Some are: Slack, Postman, Git.

Also known as software applications, unlike hardware, which refers to the physical components of a computer, software is intangible and is classified into three groups according to the...

El software es un conjunto de instrucciones, datos o programas que le indican a una computadora como realizar tareas específicas.

Según las notas de ADA LOVELACE El término “software” fue acuñado por JOHN W. TUKEY en 1957 pero el concepto de “ lectura de sucesivas instrucciones sobre la máquina analítica de Charles Babbage en 1822, en la cual Ada Lovelace trabajó y escribió el primer algoritmo destinado a ser procesado por una máquina publicadas en 1843, incluyen lo que muchos consideran el primer programa de computadora.
