I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and my friend also has Ubuntu 12.04, he does not have internet so I want to send my apps to his computer (apps that I have downloaded from software center). So how can I send apps downloaded from software center to his Ubuntu computer.

First, I suggest you check about installed packages list about your and your friend's 12.04 by using a command like:
dpkg -l
Second, if all the same, at your 12.04, clean your apt cache by using a command like:
sudo apt-get clean
Third, type this command:
sudo apt-get install <some pkg you want to install>
Fourth, copy and install .deb files from your /var/cache/apt/archives to your friend's 12.04.
- I think you know how to install *.deb package files and there may be some ways better than I answered.

1Note that it's highly likely that the OP would miss a dependency and mess up with the friend's computer.It would be better if he first check which packages he needs to copy. – Registered User Apr 03 '14 at 05:25
