Title: Database Application for Events Calendar
Abstract: In this talk we will
discuss the problems of, and a solution for, the existing static
events calendar that is used by St. Edward’s University.
Events Calendar is a web based calendar that lists all events
taking place at St. Edward’s University in a year. The main
problem with the previous calendar was that it was a static page,
which required tedious and error-prone manual updating. There
is only one person who is responsible to update the website and,
as a result, it was difficult to provide up-to-date information.
In order to solve these problems we created a dynamically generated
calendar. This authoring tool allows the administrator to update
information in an effective and efficient way. We also updated
the administrative section of the website with a security system.
These changes to the calendar resulted in a productive calendar
system that benefits both the administrator and the user. |
