Imagine a world without the apps you use daily, the games you enjoy, or the websites you rely on. Software development is the invisible hand behind this digital magic, transforming ideas into the tools that shape our lives. Software development is the process of creating, designing, deploying, and supporting software. It includes all the computer activities between the software's conception and final manifestation.

These activities are planned and put into stages in a logical order, a process known as the software development life cycle (SDLC) or software development. The SDLC often includes six stages: requirement analysis, design, development, testing, implementation, documentation, and evolution. Programming languages such as JavaScript and C++ are used to create software, with JavaScript being the most popular programming language in 2023 and used by roughly 65 percent of software developers.
