Question

By means of examples, explain what programming environments and user environments refer to.

Answer 1

Programming environments.

A programming tool or software development tool is a computer program that software developers use to create, debug, maintain, or otherwise support other programs and applications

The simplest environments are like eclipse for java and also online compilers like j doodle are also very easy to use. The complex environments are like dosbox for c , where we need type all the code .In eclipse if we see ,we will be giving the options to be selected while writing code which will make our work simple.

User environments.

In a modern workplace an organisation grants each user access to an operating system and the applications required for their role, applying corporate policy to ensure the user has appropriate access levels. This typically includes items such as the filesystems, printers and applications they should and shouldn't have access to. Within this framework, each user has a preferred way of operating and they make a number of changes to enable them to work most efficiently. Common user changes are email signatures, language settings and the environment ‘look and feel’.

The combination of the corporate policy and user preference is described as the ‘user personality’. Users form an attachment to their PCs, but “their attachment is not to the device itself, but to the way in which they do their jobs today”.

Managing user personalization is complicated, with a large number of factors and variables to be considered. As the desktop computing environment has evolved, the methods for delivering the desktop and applications have grown, further compounding the complexity involved in managing the user's personality.
