Object Oriented
At MAC we are committed to employing object-oriented
principles
in our software design. Application of these principles
leads to a code base that is modular, reusable, and
well-defined.
This design also improves the ability to maintain and
expand the code.
UML

UML
is a very expressive language to depict various aspects
of
the system. The diagrams created to express system
design
are as follows:
