Programming tools The RIDECO software has been developed in the object-oriented programming language C# using .Net technology (Visual Studio 2008). This programming language provides an intuitive and user friendly interface in Windows environment. The Extreme Programming methodology was used to develop this application. Objects were designed using the CRC (class, responsibility and collaboration) methodology. Two types of classes were defined: 1) those bound to the tables of the database; and 2) those that execute specific operations. Classes are formed by attributes and consult methods specializing on information management. Specific libraries (DLL ActiveX Open source) programmed in C# facilitate 2D graphical representation in .Net. The selected database manager was PostgreSQL, providing the power and flexibility to manage the software data requirements. The data manager receives the information provided by the client and stores it in the database. Information can be also recovered and presented in the correspondent forms. A specific application was developed in the Phyton programming language to improve efficiency in data flow. The software interface was developed in Spanish since was designed for technicians of the Spanish fruit sector. The software is technical by nature but it has been designed to provide generic answers with minimum input and very site-specific answers with detail input. The main software form gives the user access to all software functionalities. Object-oriented programming has led to the development of a general purpose irrigation scheduling code, specifically adapted to the generation of irrigation schedules in the area covered by the SIAR network of Spain. The code will find application in the current efforts to develop automatic ETo-based irrigation controllers (Zapata et al.,
