    Software development is the process of computer programming, documenting, testing, and bug fixing involved in creating and maintaining applications and frameworks involved in a software release life cycle and resulting in a software product. The term refers to a process of writing and maintaining the source code, but in a broader sense of the term it includes all that is involved between the conception of the desired software through to the final manifestation of the software, ideally in a planned and structured process.[1] Therefore, software development may include research, new development, prototyping, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products.[2] Software can be developed for a variety of purposes, the three most common being to meet specific needs of a specific client/business (the case with custom software), to meet a perceived need of some set of potential users (the case with commercial and open source software), or for personal use (e.g. a scientist may write software to automate a mundane task). Embedded software development, that is, the development of embedded software such as used for controlling consumer products, requires the development process to be integrated with the development of the controlled physical product. System software underlies applications and the programming process itself, and is often developed separately. The need for better quality control of the software development process has given rise to the discipline of software engineering, which aims to apply the systematic approach exemplified in the engineering paradigm to the process of software development. There are many approaches to software project management, known as software development life cycle models, methodologies, processes, or models. The waterfall model is a traditional version, contrasted with the more recent innovation of agile software development.

    Just out of interest what's my take away? What was the point? Was it a joke? You are a "Protector" so I am guessing you are on Code Project a great deal. I am wondering what the goal was. This is not me being snarky, I thought about trying to be snarky but I am not good at it. I tend to sound mean when I try to be snarky. Perhaps you were trying to be snarky? Not that you sounded mean. I really have no idea what to make of your post. I feel like I should pay attention cause you have creds. Maybe not.

      Not certain what is the point of "this" ? :confused: You feel that aggravated by the OP that you feel you need to answer this ? I wonder sometimes if CP is becoming an exclusive member only club.

      I'd rather be phishing!

        Just going out on a limb here but I suspect Marc was in fact being snarky while trying to express the sentiment that #SoftwareDevelopmentIs way too broad a subject to sum up in 140 characters.

        There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

                    If you have uncertainties about Marc's posting, just pick the 140 characters of it that you like best, and remember them. ... And try to get the joke, for Heaven's sake!

                        In my case, you just talk bollocks in the Lounge. In the case of people like Marc, Griff, and JSOP (and others -- you're not unnoticed, but I'm a lazy typist), you publish articles that help others, and help others fix problems that they've been struggling with. The only exclusive cliques I've seen in CP are based on religion, which -- although intolerable --is the same everywhere, and is best ignored. Don't knock guys who are doing so much to actually help their fellow devs. Take a poke at me, instead. All I do is talk bollocks, and I'm always happy to have a barney.

                            Software Development is for people who have a life and imagination. It's not for twitter-heads.

                            Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

                              He was joking for gods sake. The use of the word 'twitter' is an invitation for jokes here. That's the take away.

                                  ... a great way to meet girls. Girls who signed up for a programming class accidently. And then realized that they couldn't do it (note that this does not include the great many female developers who actually rock!). Then realized that there were a bunch of guys eager to help them. :cool:

                                    ... a great way to meet girls. Girls who signed up for a programming class accidently. And then realized that they couldn't do it (note that this does not include the great many female developers who actually rock!). Then realized that there were a bunch of guys eager to help them. :cool:

                                      i.e. you didn't get the joke. It's the CP Lounge, eh? Look for a joke, before looking for trouble.

                                      Still don't, but don't explain it. It's never funny if you have to explain it. :)

                                        Just going out on a limb here but I suspect Marc was in fact being snarky while trying to express the sentiment that #SoftwareDevelopmentIs way too broad a subject to sum up in 140 characters.

                                        There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

                                          Just out of interest what's my take away? What was the point? Was it a joke? You are a "Protector" so I am guessing you are on Code Project a great deal. I am wondering what the goal was. This is not me being snarky, I thought about trying to be snarky but I am not good at it. I tend to sound mean when I try to be snarky. Perhaps you were trying to be snarky? Not that you sounded mean. I really have no idea what to make of your post. I feel like I should pay attention cause you have creds. Maybe not.

                                          Yes, snarky. :) Actually, I totally forgot to click on the "joke" icon.

                                          Dang, you are TOO nice. OK, here goes: Software Development is the process, partly art, partly science, in which a repeatable (albeit possibly highly complex) process (notice the fractalization?) is analyzed sufficiently such that the process can be reproduced in code, including accounting for random events such as user input. A bit more than the 140 character limit, but it's hard to get the entire concept whittled down to its bare essentials. [edit] I should get brownie points for what I think is actually the first serious answer you've gotten. [/edit] Marc
