Making the distinction between application software and software programming is arbitrary and more often than not blurred. Application software can be contrasted with system software, which manages and integrates a computer's capabilities, yet does not typically apply them directly in the performance of tasks that will benefit the user. If we have to compare application software with system software and use an analogy for the same, we will have to use the example of an electric light bulb and an electric power generation plant. Electricity is generated by the power plant, but in itself it is of no real use, till it is harnessed in an application like an electric light bulb, which performs a service that is of benefit to the user.
You may now have some confusion about application software and system software programming. The system software is so programed, that it insulates the application software as far as possible from complex details, such as memory and other hardware features, as well as accessory devices such as printers, readers, keyboards, displays, etc.
Application software can be contrasted with the system software, in that the system software takes care of integrating a computers capabilities, yet does not typically directly apply them in performance tasks which benefits the user.
Although we have made an application software vs. system software distinction, it is important to note that both of them work in tandem. It is the capability of both to interact with each other in different ways, that are beneficial to the user.
