Getting Started 

What is an application? In the computer world, we define application as 

computer program with a user interface. You can think of an application as 
any program that you can open on your computer and do work in. The 
ClassPad Manager is an application with other applications inside. Most of its 
components (or parts) are the same as other PC applications; only a few are 
unique.
