Types of Applications
Intro
An application is a computer program. Some typical examples of software applications are word processors, web browsers, and media players.
Sometimes similar programs get bundled together in application suites like Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.org, or iWork. These examples all offer productivity applications for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and more.
Open source software is "software applications whose source code is published and made available to the public, enabling anyone to copy, modify and redistribute the source code without paying royalties or fees."
There are 3 types of computer applications. They are: 1) standalone applications, 2) client/server applications, and 3) SAAS (software as a service) applications.
