Is there any difference between application and software development process?

Are you asking about the difference between an application and software in general?

@asgs Yeah, I guess. A little dumb question, but still.

@brycek379 software is a very generic keyword. Any code written to do something

Whereas an app is a real "application" of code to solve some real life problem

If I write a hello world code, it may be called an app but it is software or a demo software at best. But when I write some code to calculate the ETA of a carrier to reach a destination based on its current speed and remaining distance, then it becomes an app

The above illustration may not seem helpful now but the more you work in this industry, the better you will get to understand over time
