Concept in Definition ABC

An environment is a computing space or scenario where certain common commands, functions or characteristics operate.

On computing, an environment can be one of multiple possible places where a series of rules are followed or similar actions take place according to predetermined parameters. Often times, an environment is a scenario that allows you to act in a predictable way, since the Username usually has information in advance about the characteristics or rules that regulate the functioning of this space.

Among the most used environments are applications and software of programming, which have shared elements and variables so that the developer operates accordingly. It is also common to speak of web environments to the extent that they respond to international operating criteria or standards.

Another typical setting is a desktop environment (or in English, 'desktop environment'). In this case, this is the name given to the set of applications and programs that provide the user with a experience interactive, simple, fast and friendly.

Each environment has an individual aspect and behavior that, although it can be shared by others or resemble related environments, aims to meet specific needs and expectations that each user has.

There are environments of public knowledge, such as the desks of Windows, which are familiar to most computer users around the world, and this implies a contract of understanding between the designer and the end user. Another type of very famous environments are those developed by the Apple company for Macintosh, considered of high aesthetic value and with a purpose to maximize the user experience.
There are also environments code open like GNOME. This type of environment seeks that the user can optimize the computing experience by himself, being able to customize it to discretion.
