slides for the Programming aspect of the MAS project

1.  After reading the MAS Case Project, the team
originally decided C++ would be a viable language to
create the application in
 Midway through the project, the switch was made to
C# for its easy-to-use GUI design qualities

2.  For the database backend, we used an Access
database from Microsoft Access 2010
 The largest challenge during development was
the queries to the database to validate user
names and passwords
 Validating sensors and their various attributes
was also a challenge
 In order for the MAS application to run, Data
Connectivity Components must first be
installed

3.  After the design for the application was laid
out, creating the various forms to perform all of
the Use Cases and other functionality became
the primary challenge
 Using .PNG (Portable Network Graphic) image
files with transparent backgrounds, a
professional looking GUI was created that
utilizes tabs and other images to convey
information to the user effectively
