Arquivo Discussoes de Programacao e Tecnologia Prezados,
Alguém saberia dar a “Definição correta” do que realmente é uma Plataforma?
Por exemplo, quando dizemos que estamos utilizando a Plataforma Android, ou a plataforma Web…
Qual seria o conceito não abstrato de “Plataforma”?
Abraços!
(Chutes e inrrolações não valem hein xP)
A computing platform includes some sort of hardware architecture and a software framework (including application frameworks), where the combination allows software, particularly application software, to run. Typical platforms include a computer’s architecture, operating system, programming languages and related user interface (run-time system libraries or graphical user interface).
A platform is a crucial element in software development. A platform might be simply defined as a place to launch software. The platform provider offers the software developer an undertaking that logic code will run consistently as long as the platform is running on top of other platforms. Logic code includes bytecode, source code, and machine code. It actually means execution of the program is not restricted by the type of operating system provided. It has mostly replaced the machine-independent languages.[which?][citation needed]
Some software platforms emulate entire hardware platforms - as in virtualization.
Uma plataforma para nós, profissionais de desenvolvimento de sistemas, se refere ao ambiente de desenvolvimento no qual uma linguagem de programação é interpretada ou compilada.
