1. System software

2. Application software

3. Programming software

System software: System software is a set of program basically designed to operate hardware activities of all types of electronic device. System software is the field of running application software. System software consists of operating system, servers, device drivers, utilities and window systems.

Application software: Application software has no fixed type. It is developing and exchanging and the users can use application software in need while necessary. Application software is a specific data that users use in the specific field. 

Programming software: Programming software create the sequence of instructions so as to a computational device on the VEX robot how to execute a task. Sometimes programming software creates links between system software and application software. Many programming languages are available to create computer program, such as A#.NET, Agora, Axum, BREW, COMAL, chomski, Ceylon, CSP, Datalog, DinkC, FoxBASE, GAMS, HyperTalk, Java, Karel, ksh, L#NET, Maxima, M2001, MIMIC, Napier88, o:XML, QBasic, YQL, ZPL etc.
