Software Development

The typical phases include:
Requirement analysis to understand what users need from the software.
System design where the system’s architecture and design are detailed.
Implementation (coding) where developers write the code according to the design.
Testing to ensure the software works as intended.
Deployment to make the software available for use.
Maintenance to fix issues and improve the software over time.

Application Development – Creating desktop, mobile, or web applications.
Systems Development – Building and integrating system components.
Web Development – Developing applications on the web.
Database Development – Design and management of database architecture.
API Development – Creating APIs that allow different software to interact.
Embedded Systems Development – Programming of software to control devices.

Languages such as JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, Ruby, and PHP are widely used due to their robust frameworks, libraries, and support for a range of applications from web development to cloud applications.

Frameworks are sets of pre-written code libraries and tools that developers use to create applications. They provide a foundation on which software projects can be built. Examples include React for web development, Django for Python applications, and .NET for Windows applications.
