Object Oriented Programming (OOP) Approach to the Development of Student Information Management System
It is not in doubt that good data management is essential to the success of every organization. Most instituions in Nigeria still adopts the use of Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) platform for the management of their students' information hence they graple with the enormous and overwhelming challenges facing the RDBMS technique. This paper presents the Object Oriented programming concepts in the development of the system for student data management. The research used Object oriented analysis and design (OOA&D) and Agile methodology to realise a simple and easy to manage approach to data representation, storage and retrieval. The resulting model of Students Registration System at the departmental level drastically reduced maintenance cost and increased productivity. The system generally reduced the burden of data management, report generation and presentation and hence brought efficient resources utilisation to the institutions.
