Software Development: Targeted Applications

In this text we will cover how to develop stand-alone applications specifically designed to perform one or more associated tasks. The term software development has been so diluted as to become meaningless. This same term should not be used to describe the process of creating a useful tool such as Microsoft® Excel® or composing three lines of python, yet so it is every day in countless posts on social media. We will demonstrate in this text what the term truly means and how to go about creating useful software tools. The obvious language for such is clearly C. The software described herein may be found free online and all will run on any version of Windows®.
