Computer software, or simply software, is that part of a computer system that consists of data or computer instructions, in contrast to the physical hardware from which the system is built.

In computer science and software engineering, computer software is all information processed by computer systems, programs and data.

Computer hardware and software require each other and neither can be realistically used on its own.

In computer programming, event-driven programming is a programming paradigm in which the flow of the program is determined by events such as user actions (mouse clicks, key presses), sensor outputs, or messages from other programs/threads.

Event-driven programming is the dominant paradigm used in graphical user interfaces and other applications (e.g. JavaScript web applications) that are centered on performing certain actions in response to user input.

This is also true of programming for device drivers (e.g. P in USB device driver stacks).

Information technology operations, or IT operations, are the set of all processes and services that are both provisioned by an IT staff to their internal or external and used by themselves, to run themselves as a business.
