What are the 5 types of computer applications? - Lode Emmanuel Pale

Computer applications, also known as software or programs, serve various purposes and can be categorized into different types based on their functions and usage. Here are five common types of computer applications explained by Lode Emmanuel Pale:

Word Processing Software: Word processors are used for creating, editing, and formatting text documents. They include features for text formatting, spell checking, and sometimes even collaborative editing. Microsoft Word and Google Docs are popular examples.

Spreadsheet Software: Spreadsheet applications are used for managing and analyzing data in tabular form. They are commonly used for tasks like budgeting, financial analysis, and data visualization. Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets are well-known spreadsheet programs.

Presentation Software: Presentation software is used to create and deliver slideshows or presentations. These applications allow users to design visually appealing slides, add multimedia elements, and deliver presentations effectively. Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides are widely used for this purpose.

Database Software: Database applications are designed for storing, managing, and retrieving data efficiently. They are commonly used in businesses and organizations to store and manipulate large volumes of structured data. Examples include Microsoft Access, MySQL, and Oracle Database.

Graphics and Design Software: Graphics and design applications are used for creating visual content, such as images, illustrations, and multimedia presentations. These tools are essential for graphic designers, artists, and multimedia professionals. Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and CorelDRAW are popular graphic design software options.

These are just five broad categories of computer applications, and there are many more specialized software programs available for various purposes, such as video editing, 3D modeling, web development, and more. The choice of software depends on the specific needs and tasks of the user or organization.

Learn to Code

Daily Blogs 356 - Oct 26th, 12.024 Being someone who actually codes and is a software engineer, please learn how to code.

Why?

Before anything else, it is fun, even more if you like puzzles and solve problems, and you could find your future career even.

Nonetheless, coding is an enormous skill to have nowadays with every little job, task, and even hobby, having some sort of technology or another. How many times have you wanted to rename a bunch of files into a more structured form? Or even wanted to have a fast way to see all your tasks for the day? Maybe you are animating in After Effects (unfortunately) and want to make an object pulse following a song beat? Or maybe in your job you have to make spreadsheets in Excel (again, unfortunately) and need something more dynamic? Or maybe, you want to have your own simple website? All of these things can be done, and can be easier, knowing a little bit of coding/scripting.

Coding not only lets you do things in a faster way, it also helps you better understand the technology you use. Did you never think how the little applications that you use are made? Because they are, by humans, like me and you, and that's why they have bugs most of the time. Maybe learning to code, you can even start modding your favorite game! Or even create your own.

But Coding is Hard!

I'm going to be honest, yes, it can be hard. But we aren't talking about doing whole software products or even what could be called engineering, we are talking about scripting/coding, which is just creating files for some utilities, which is far from hard. And instead of trying to explain, let me show you some examples.

Creating a Website Yes, you heard me right, the first example is how to create a website, because you can do it in literally just a file:

"But it is ugly!", well, just modify a little the first file, and add another file!

And there it is! Your own website. Now to put it into the internet to everyone to see it is nothing more than uploading these two files to a Web Hosting Service, which most of the simple ones are free! A few examples are GitHub Pages, Vercel, Netlify, all of them you can find easy tutorials to upload your files and have them for the web!

What Are Those Files?

Glad you asked! Let's go step by step.

The first file, the one full of <tags\/>, is what is called an HTML file. HTML (or Hypertext Markup Language) is the language used by all websites you visit, it is designed to structure text in such a way that you can easily put meaning and style into the document, and have you browser read it to show you. These files are marked up using tags, which encapsulate text with an opening tag (like this one <p>) and a closing tag (like this one </p>, see the slash before the letter P), looking like this <p>Hello world</p>. We have multiple types of tags, such as <p> for Paragraphs, <h1> for Heading/titles, <h2> for subheadings/subtitles, <link> for linking one file to another, <ul> for an Unsorted List, which will have <li> for each List Item, <main> for informing what's the main content, <a> for an Anchor/hyperlink for another website, etc. etc. All HTML files will have an <html> encapsulating everything, a <head> tag for information about the page, and a <body> tag for the content of the page. That's pretty much how HTML works, and all you need is to learn what tag does what, and you're pretty much good to go.

In the second file, we just add some structure to it better, adding a <main> tag and a <div> tag with the ID "background", so the third file, the stylesheet, can make it look pretty! The third file, the one with the {} blocks, is a CSS (or Cascading Style Sheets) file, and it is the one that makes all of our websites beautiful. It is made by these "blocks" of code that applies styles for multiple elements in the page, it is a little bit more hard to explain, but in summary, that file does this:

The "#background" block applies styles to any tag with ID "background". In the example, we make the tag have 100% of the view width (width: 100vw) and 100% of the view height (height: 100vh); make the background be an Unsplash image; decrease the opacity, so the image is not so bright; apply a blur filter; and make its position be absolute in the top left corner, so it doesn't move with the rest of the content;

The "body" block applies styles to the tag and makes it display its content on a flexible layout (display: flex), which we use to make the content be centralized in the page;

We then make the text-color inside the tag white, use a sans font, and make it be in front (z-index: 2) of the tag (see the z-index: 1 in the "#background" block);

And to finish off, we make the color of links an aqua color.

That's pretty much it and pretty much how the fundamentals of how to create a website works. Just 2 files of code, and you can have your own website.

But Where Are the Loops? Where Are the "if"s?

Yes, yes, if you know the concept of coding, you may be asking where are all the loops, "if"s, and variables. Truth be told is that HTML and CSS aren't programming language per-say, they are markup languages to structure and display text, so they can't run anything really. However, they are easy to understand and are considered "code" nonetheless, and personally I find fascinating that websites, the thing we all access every single day, that most people I know think is magic… are based in two simple languages that anyone can learn in an afternoon and have its own website up and running in less than a day.

I Want real code!

Ok ok! Let's so add a little interactivity into our website. What about a little character you can control? Yes, a little game character to control with WASD on your website, with less than 40 lines of code. Let's first update the HTML file so we can add the character:

As you can see in the new file, we just added another <div> tag on the website, with the ID "player" and a <img> tag which we can use to add a visual sprite to our character! I'm using this simple sprite/gif I found on OpenGameArt.org. Also, in the new <div> we add some CSS styling directly in the tag, using the style attribute, the reason to this being that here we can manipulate its value with a programming language, in the case of the web, JavaScript. We add the JavaScript file with a <script> tag.

And in the JavaScript file, we can write this simple script:

This can be a little overwhelming, but let's go line by line:

First, we get the player element/tag with document.querySelector("#player") (similar on how in CSS we would use #player {} to style the tag). This tag is then saved into a variable player, think of it like a box or alias for document.querySelector("#player"), so when we use something like player.setAttribute it can be thought like document.querySelector("#player").setAttribute;

After that, we use player.setAttribute("data-coordinate", JSON.stringify({ x: 40, y: 20 })). This is just so we can more easily access the coordinates of the player after. An attribute is like that style in the tag, so calling this is like we wrote in the HTML file;

We again call player.setAttribute, but this time to rewrite the value of the style attribute, just to be sure. See how in the text for the style tag (the 2nd argument, aka the left: ${45}%; bottom:${20}%; ...), we use ${}? Well, this is a neat feature that lets us put values inside the text, so it makes the final result be left: 40%; bottom 20% ..., in this line it seems a little redundant, but in later in the lines we will use it more cleverly. Just remember that if we make a variable, a "box", like let x = 10 and use it inside the text like left: ${x}%, it would be in the end left: 10%;

Now the meat of the script, the "onKeyDown" function. A "function" in programming is like a piece of code you can reuse, and pass variables to it to use inside the code, like a box you can put stuff inside to it to do things, a box that uses other boxes, a box inception. Inside the "onKeyDown" function, we take back the value inside that data-coordinates attribute we wrote on the 3rd line, and put it inside the coordinates variable; than, we check if the key pressed is "d", if so, we add 1 to the X coordinate, we are changing the value of coordinate.x; we check for the other keys like "a", "w" and "s", changing the according variable to it; and then, we rewrite both the style attribute and data-coordinates attribute with the new value;

And finally, we use document.addEventListener("keydown", onKeyDown) to tell the browser "hey! Use this function ("onKeyDown") when a key is pressed!".

And that's pretty much it.

As you can see in the top right corner, the values of the style and data-coordinate attribute change when we press a key!

If you want to access this simple website, this is the live version of it hosted on GitHub Pages and the source-code is available under the public domain.

Learning More

Being honest, what I showed here is just a very small toy project, and a lot is simplified because of the gigantic convenience that the browser provides nowadays. But again, this is the type of thing you can do with just a little bit of knowledge on how to code, probably the scripts you will do can be even simpler than this. And just imagine the things you can invent, learning a little bit more!

Besides the toy project, code can be used in a lot of fields:

If you work on data or science in general, coding in Python is a great skill to have on your toolkit, and it is very easy to learn. It works great with creating graphs and can even be used inside Excel for creating more dynamic spreadsheets;

Do you want to make games? Well, learn something like Lua, a very simple language and one of my favorites for scripting, and powerful enough to be chosen by engines like Roblox Studio (which surprisingly is powerful than I thought). But if Roblox is not your taste, well, learn something like GDScript, the language of the Godot game engine, fully free, fully open;

Also, Lua is used for modding on games such as Factorio, and can be very powerful for small scripts for your computer;

If you want to make websites, HTML, CSS and JavaScript, learn them and go nuts (I won't recommend you use any framework as other programmers use, learn the fundamentals first). There are a lot of documentation about the web, and it is one of the fields with the lowest entry;

Are you an 3D Artist? Well then, Python is also the language used for creating add-ons, you can take some time to learn and create your owns to help your workflow!

And if you are a poor soul who is using Adobe products, first: my condolences; second, most Adobe products use ActionScript to create dynamic animations and values such as making an element react to music beats in After Effects.

Learn to code, be happy, and maybe you will find a new passion like I did.

Probably the single most important lesson I’ve learned in my career, the thing that I would argue is the hallmark of “experience”, is understanding just how much work it takes to turn a working program into a viable product. It’s why developer estimates are so notoriously optimistic - and why experienced developers are so notoriously cynical. Let’s say you crank out a bit of code that’ll take responses from a web form and add them in an Excel spreadsheet. That’s not that hard… yay! we just built a Typeform competitor in one afternoon! Except, no, you didn’t. You made one thing work one time on one computer. You haven’t considered encoding, internationalization, concurrency, authentication, telemetry, billing, branding, mobile devices, deployment. You haven’t hit any of the weird limits yet - ever had a system work brilliantly for the first 65,535 requests and then fall over? You don’t have a product. At best, you have a proof-of-concept of a good idea that, if some very smart people work very hard, might become a viable product.

How to Automate PDF Data Extraction to Excel

Managing data locked in PDFs is a common challenge across industries, from finance and marketing to education and research. Whether it’s extracting tables, numerical data, or text, automating the process of converting PDFs to Excel can save significant time and effort. In this article, we’ll explore how to use tools and techniques to efficiently convert PDF to Excel, including options for PDF to XLS and PDF to XLSX formats.

Why Automate PDF Data Extraction?

PDFs are designed to be portable and universally readable, making them ideal for sharing documents. However, their static nature makes extracting data for analysis or editing cumbersome. Automation can streamline the process, offering benefits such as:

Time Savings: Automation eliminates the need for manual data entry.

Accuracy: Tools ensure the integrity of your data is maintained during extraction.

Scalability: Automated processes handle large datasets quickly and efficiently.

Understanding PDF to Excel Conversion

At the core of automating data extraction is a PDF to Excel converter, a tool designed to transform PDF content into Excel spreadsheets. The process involves interpreting the structured data (such as tables) from a PDF and translating it into an editable Excel format.

There are two main Excel formats to consider:

PDF to XLS: Creates files compatible with older Excel versions (pre-2007).

PDF to XLSX: Generates modern, lightweight files with enhanced features and higher compatibility with newer Excel versions.

Steps to Automate PDF to Excel Conversion

Choose the Right Tool Selecting a reliable PDF to Excel converter is critical. Look for tools that offer:

High accuracy in data extraction.

Support for both PDF to XLS and PDF to XLSX formats.

Batch processing for handling multiple files.

Set Up the Automation Process

If using a desktop or web-based tool, upload your PDF files in bulk.

Define output preferences, such as the desired Excel format (XLS or XLSX).

Run the conversion and save the outputs in a designated folder.

Validate and Optimize the Results

Review the converted Excel sheets for accuracy.

Ensure tables, numbers, and text are correctly aligned.

Use Excel’s built-in tools to further clean and organize the data.

Common Use Cases for Automating PDF to Excel Conversion

1. Financial Reporting Extracting balance sheets, income statements, or expense reports from PDFs allows financial analysts to perform calculations, generate forecasts, and prepare presentations in Excel.

2. Academic Research Researchers often deal with large datasets in PDF form. Automating the process of transferring this data into Excel enables better visualization and statistical analysis.

3. Sales and Marketing Sales teams regularly work with customer lists, campaign data, or sales figures stored in PDFs. Automation helps transfer this information into spreadsheets for insights and strategy development.

4. Business Intelligence Organizations extract historical data from archived PDF reports and integrate it into modern tools for real-time business analytics.

5. Event Management Event organizers can automate the extraction of attendee lists, schedules, and vendor details from PDFs into Excel, making planning more efficient.

Tips for Better PDF to Excel Automation

Work with High-Quality PDFs Well-structured PDFs with clearly defined tables and minimal formatting issues produce better conversion results.

Leverage Batch Processing If you handle multiple files, use a converter that supports batch processing to save time.

Optimize the Output Use Excel’s tools to clean up converted data, such as fixing alignment, merging cells, or formatting for better readability.

Choose the Right Format Decide between PDF to XLS and PDF to XLSX based on the compatibility of your system or the requirements of your workflow.

Tools for Automating PDF to Excel Conversion

Automation can be achieved through several tools, including:

Dedicated PDF to Excel Converters: Web-based and desktop applications designed specifically for this task.

Scripting and Programming: Advanced users can use Python libraries like PyPDF2 or Tabula for custom automation workflows.

Business Automation Software: Platforms like RPA (Robotic Process Automation) tools allow integration of PDF conversion into broader processes.

Final Thoughts

Automating the process to convert PDF to Excel is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity for professionals dealing with large amounts of data. By leveraging a reliable PDF to Excel converter, you can save time, reduce errors, and focus on data analysis rather than manual entry.

Whether you need to extract data for financial reports, academic research, or business operations, automating PDF to XLS or PDF to XLSX conversions ensures seamless workflows and enhanced productivity. With the right tools and strategies, extracting data from PDFs has never been easier.
