Software development, also known as software engineering or programming, refers to the process of designing, coding, testing, and maintaining software systems. the creation of computer programs, applications, and systems that serve various purposes, from solving specific problems to providing entertainment or facilitating business operations.
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC):
The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a systematic process or framework used in the development of software applications.
Requirements Analysis:-
Understand the needs of stakeholders and define the software’s functionality.
Planning:- Develop a project plan outlining the scope, timeline, resources, and budget.
Design:- Create a blueprint for the software based on the gathered requirements.
Testing:-Verify that the software functions correctly and meets specified requirements.
Deployment:- Release the software for use by end-users.
Software Development Methodologies
frameworks or processes
that guide the development
of software projects
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
Waterfall Model
The Waterfall Model follows a linear and sequential approach to software development.
Agile Methodology
Agile is an iterative and flexible approach that emphasizes collaboration, adaptability, and customer feedback throughout the development process.
Scrum
Scrum is an Agile framework that focuses on iterative development in short cycles called sprints
Kanban
that focuses on visualizing workflow, limiting work in progress (WIP), and continuously improving the process. It uses a Kanban board to visualize tasks and their status, with columns representing different stages of the workflow.
DevOps
that focuses on visualizing workflow, limiting work in progress (WIP), and continuously improving the process. It uses a Kanban board to visualize tasks and their status, with columns representing different stages of the workflow.
Programming Languages
Java
Java is a robust, platform-independent language commonly used for enterprise software development, mobile app development (Android), web development (Java EE), and large-scale systems.
Python
Python is widely used for web development, data analysis, machine learning, scientific computing, and automation.
C++
C++ is a powerful and efficient language used for system programming, game development, embedded systems, and performance-critical applications.
JavaScript
JS a versatile and widely-used programming language primarily JavaScript is supported by all major web browsers and has become an essential technology for front-end web development.
Integrated Development Environments (IDEs):
Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) are software applications that provide comprehensive tools and features to support software development.
Visual Studio
Eclipse
IntelliJ
Version Control Systems (VCS):
Version Control Systems (VCS) are tools that manage and track changes to source code and other files in a software development project.
Git:- Git is a distributed version control system (DVCS) that allows multiple developers to collaborate on a project.
GitHub:- GitHub is a web-based platform that provides hosting for Git repositories. It extends the capabilities of Git by offering collaboration features, issue tracking, code review, and more.
SVN(Subversion):- VN, is a centralized version control system (CVCS) designed to manage and track changes in source code, documents, and other types of files over time. It is an alternative to distributed version control systems (DVCS) like Git
