A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

System software versus application software

System software and application software are two major categories of software, and exam questions often test your ability to distinguish their purpose, users, and relationship. You must master what each one does, examples of each, and how system software provides the platform on which application software runs.
