+\subsection{Wavedash Programming}
+\label{section:wavedash_architecture}
+Wavedash was designed using the Model-View-Controller architecture. This means that the Wavedash User Interface and the backend are separate pieces that can be used independently. If you know how to program using the Python programming language, you can use the Wavedash Controller code to write programs with all of the capabilities of Wavedash. OSSIE comes with a sample program (OSSIEDemo.py) illustrating how to make use of the Wavedash Controller. This program can be found in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wavedash/src/.
