Review:

Visual Studio 2010 is package software that includes Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual Web Development, Visual C#, Visual F#, and Project Management. I need this application software for my future career as a software engineer, or business application developer. Also, it has features to change our work from Visual Basic to Visual C++, or other software without closing the program. The interface of this software is eye-catching with well organize and nice features. Also, this application software is very easy to use to create forms or programs by a bit design and some codes. It works in only window operating system.

Pro:

•           Easy to create forms and programs.

•           Save time to find different software to install.

•           Many programs in a single package.

•           Computer speed without installing each application software individual.

Cons:

•           Require online code after install, difficult to get the code.

•           Take a bit long time to open the application.

Summary:

I have used the full version of this software for about 2 months with a trouble. The trouble is that, about a week after I installed the software, it required the online serial number, or code. It was a bad problem for me in that time because I did not have internet access, and it is the final day of my programming assignment. It took me long time to find the code.

Reviewed Application Software: Adobe Dreamweaver CS5
Type: Shareware

Review:

Adobe Dreamweaver is software that we use to create and design websites. It is a good program for my future career as a web developer. It is very easy to use with three features that we can write code, split, and design. This can help us to arrange interface and write the code. Also, it produces the pattern code as we are typing, so we do not worry about typing the wrong code. However, the interface is not fascinating because of the lack of colors. However, Adobe Dreamweaver does not support with earlier operating system such as, Windows 98, Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003, and Mac OS 10.2.x.

Pros:

•           Easy to design website.

•           Have different features to write code, and design.

•           No cost of downloading the software

Cons:

•           Trial version.

•           Interface is not very nice.

Summary:

I have used the trial version of this software for a month without any trouble. I used it to learn some basic HTML code and create some WebPages. This software will be a good assistance for my future job as a web developer because it provides many features and pattern codes that we can use easily to design a website.

Review:

            Ultimate Business Plan software is freeware software that we can find to download easily on the internet without paying a cost. This software is used to make business plans and help the company succeed in the market area. It provides two sections that we can use to create a complete business plan. Company section is a place that we can edit information about our company. Plan section is where we can write, edit, and create our business plan. There are many small sections on the left of the plan section that provide procedures for us to arrange our plan. This software is a good choice for me to choose to use for my future job as a business application developer, or business development manager for ICT companies.

I need this software for my future job because it will help to do a business plan easier than hand writing. Also, it provides many structures that I can use to make my business plan become true.
