A platform can be seen both as a constraint on the application development process â the application is written for such-and-such a platform â and an assistance to the development process, in that they provide low-level functionality ready-made. An application, such as a spreadsheet or word processor, which hosts software written in an application-specific scripting language, such as an Excel macro. 2  This can be extended to writing fully-fledged applications with the Microsoft Office suite as a platform.
