 History of software

An outline (algorithm) for what would have been the first piece of software was written by Ada Lovelace in the 19th century, for the planned analytical engine. However, neither the analytical engine nor any software for it were ever created.

The first theory about software—prior to the creation of computers as we know them today—was proposed by Alan Turing in his 1935 essay computable numbers with an application to the Entscheidungs problem (decision problem).

This eventually led to the creation of the twin academic fields of computer science and software engineering, which both study software and its creation. Computer science is more theoretical (Turing's essay is an example of computer science), whereas software engineering is focused on more practical concerns.

However, prior to 1946, software as we now understand it—programs stored in the memory of stored-program digital computers—did not yet exist. The very first electronic computing devices were instead rewired in order to "reprogram" them.

Computer software can be put into categories based on common function, type, or field of use. There are three broad classifications:

Application software is the general designation of computer programs for performing tasks. Application software may be general purpose (word processing, web browsers, ...) or have a specific purpose (accounting, truck scheduling, ...). Application software contrast with system software.

System software is a generic term referring to the computer programs used to start and run computer systems including diverse application software and networks.

Computer programming tools, such as compilers and linkers, are used to translate and combine computer program source code and libraries into executable RAMs (programs that will belong to one of the three said
