Week 3: Software Layers


Week three was in the first week of October 2011. It was on Tuesday, 4 October 2011. We leant about Software Layers: Operating System, Drivers, System Software, and Application Program. At this chance, we needed to remember about Software Layers. It was written that in Software Layers:
Computer User à  Application à Operating System à Device Drivers à System Software (Bios) à Computer Hardware

            Wow, it was difficult for me to remember that software layers, we must remember because it will be out in the final exam. And for Operating System function I learnt in this week. Now, I knew the types of Operating System e.g :
o   Stand Alone – DOS, Windows, Mac, Unix, Linux
o   Server – windows Nt, Unix, Linux, Solaris
o   Embedded OS – Windows CE, Palm OS, BB, Android

And for Programming Language (PL) there were 2 types (Low-level and High-level). Low level used computer language / number of binary. And for High-level used machine independent. There were 3 generation of HLL (higher-level Languange) : third, fourth, fifth-generation language. I was like: C++, Pascal, Java, VB. But my teacher said you would study this programming language next semester or you can join in ICT majoring.
