Software development is the act of working to produce/create software. This software could be produced for a variety of purposes - the three most common purposes are to meet specific needs of a specific client/business, 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).

The term software development is often used to refer to the activity of computer programming, which is the process of writing and maintaining the source code, whereas the broader sense of the term includes all that is involved between the conception of the desired software through to the final manifestation of the software. Therefore, software development may include research, new development, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products. For larger software systems, usually developed by a team of people, some form of process is typically followed to guide the stages of production of the software.

Especially the first phase in the software development process may involve many departments, including marketing, engineering, research and development and general management.

Do I need to start a company to do software development business in India?
Q. I am planning to start software development business in India but I don't want to register my business as a company. I won't be having a office set up to do business. The business will be done at home. To do such a business do I need to register my business as a company with the government?

A. I dont think you need to worry about licesense to start a company specially in India, but going forward its always important to do it in a professional way. India rising demands its citizens to dream big so plan slowly and atleast go for a local coportation license which is cheap and get you a current account. Once you show with some payments flowing on your account you can always go for a loan to expand. No fun in doing software development if you cant think of expansion and making it to the stock market in india. Think longer term if not now may be for brighter tommorow - go for a registered firm.

A. Marketing is a two-sided venture. One, it tells you what the desired end-users are specifically looking for in the application. Benefits, connectivity, ease-of use, support aspects, reports, etc. The final stage of marketing is presenting the finished product to the public. It's a never-ending process too because after you've started selling and promoting it, you have to continue developing and improving it. You do that by communicating with both current and potential customers and utilizing the steps itemized above.

How to find jobs in Software development?
Q. Hi, I have a degree in computer science and software development from a leading university.But still when I apply for jobs or go for interviews they ask for work experience.i tried to get into graduate programe but since my marks are not that great I cant get into such ones either. So will it be a help if I do certification courses such as CCNA and learn things like PHP on my own and develop some websites. I would also like to mention here that the reason why my marks are low is when I started the degree I had no basic knowledge in IT and therefor with minimum help with my friends I tried really hard.Because of this experience I am now really motivated to do programming than ever before.

A. I had a hard time when I first started out trying to find a job in the Aerospace industry. In the end I had to wait 4 years after graduating (including doing an MSc) to finally land a place on a graduate scheme! I didn't have great grades either during the BEng and had no industrial exprience either, so I know where you are coming from. However, things started to look up for me about a year after I had finished my MSc (yes, I had to go through another year of unemployment/temp jobs), when I finally had my break and was offered a job. The thing that piped it for me in the interview was all the stuff that I had learnt outside of uni - everything that I had taught myself. During the times of unemployment/bordem/temp jobs I learnt how to… [cont.]
