OBJECTIVE:

In September 2021, I joined a team of 5 fellow student developers. We were tasked with creating a new scheduling application for our program head. This is an ongoing project, which is approaching its final release at the end of April 2022.

REQUIREMENTS:

Our software should allow the program head to assign specific instructors to teach specific courses in various programs in a specific location. The program head must be able to produce printable schedules for instructors, rooms and programs, as well as detect if a booking conflict occurs.

Since our client's original software was over 20 years old, we were required to use a newer technology that could allow us to serve dynamic web content integrated with a database to store schedules, departments, courses, and instructors. For this reason, we chose Blazor Server, which enabled us to call C# code directly from within our HTML pages and program the backend of this web application. Additionally, we are required to create a contemporary UX reminiscent of Google Calendar, which can be seen from the screenshots provided on the right.
