Cyber world is growing huge as days pass by. If you get into it deeply and see the rate of growth is huge and it is getting even bigger as days fly. You have to note a fact that this growth has disadvantages too. Software is the hot topic that every one is aware of. There are people who master this so called software but still there are few who don’t even know what it is. For the second category people this guide is definitely going to be a good gift.

What is software? Software is a collection of codes. What these codes are all about? These codes are written on a same target. Yes, these codes altogether performs the same function. There is a methodology called as Syntax in all the software. This syntax is nothing but the way the code has to be in software. This syntax differs from software to software. The main thing that has to be noted is that a kind of syntax only works on the particular software. This is because there is a compiler present in all the software. This recognizes only one kind of syntax. This is like a French man can only understand French and not other languages. You may ask a question here, certain French people can also understand other languages. Yes, they can. There is also such option in certain software to recognize more syntax. Software like Microsoft .net framework, dream weaver supports more than one language. This type of support is called as multilingual support.

There are three types of layers when you build up your software. One is the thing which the users see i.e. the front panel. Second is the thing which has the database i.e. back end. NOTE: a database is a place to store information. Third thing is the middle ware which connects the application’s front and back end.

Still you can get a clear picture of what is software? Chill out. The following example will give you a clear idea.

Application: Shopping cart

Front Panel: It displays the products available with a select button. It is designed using front end designer software like dream weaver etc.

Middle ware: It connects front end to the back end.

Back End: It stores the product information selected by a particular user. It is designed using back end database software like MS SQL etc.
