Contest: Appointment Book
« Thread started on: Mar 3rd, 2003, 10:05pm » |
|
There are Calendars, and Schedulers, and Date Minders.... What we need is an appointment book, an MS Outlook clone for a professional or medical office that has:
1) Perpetual calendar, one month at a time, with Previous/Next buttons to navigate, year selectable by listbox
2) Appointment display, half-hour increments, 8:00am to 8 m
3) Click day on calendar to bring up hourly schedule
4) Click time label in schedule to bring up appointment entry
5) 64 character appointment entry box
6) Date selection and notation (holiday, start vacation, Mom's birthday)
7) Date notation and reminder display text box
Submissions to be voted on by poll in this forum. Two top vote-getters win free registration for WikiWriter. We need at least 4 proposed entries by March 9 to make it real, or the contest is off. Closing date for submissions is April 31, two weeks after tax day in the US. any takers?

This is a great idea for a contest! Our first contest, for programs written in 1998 (!) had an appointment calendar winner... the Courtney Calendar.
Quote:| Closing date for submissions is April 31 |
|
"Thirty Days Hath September,
April, June and November..."
OMG, there is more need for this calendar than I realized!
Great idea, Jerry! I hope you get some interest here!

I figured to use one of the early submissions to schedule to contest close date.

'Til the end of April -- the 30th, 31st, certainly no later than the 32nd.
We need at least 4 programmers in the contest. You are #1.

I don't know any of these things either! I'm still considering whether I'll have a go. Hey, this would be a good reason to learn something new!

Not sure if I'll be able to get anything done for the 10th, but I'll do my best...I've just spent the last year developing an appointment/case record system for work, so have some ideas....

All you have to do by the 10th (nice consultant-ish slide there, BTW -- I originally said the 9th ) is say you'll go for it. We just need a show of hands, at this point.

Does the statement below mean that you need 4 entries by 9th March, or just 4 intentions to submit? If the latter, then please book me in for, say, 7.30pm on April 30th.
Thanks

For any would be contest programmers here, I have good news - a special DLL designed with LB3 in mind and that operates on and provides many date functions, is available on my website.
Here is what my website says about the DatePup32 DLL:
DatePup32.DLL: "The hound that loves to fetch dates for you." I wrote DatePup32 specifically for Liberty Basic 3.x users. It is designed to find Julian Day values, Gregorian dates, perform Date Math, Reformat Dates, Validate Date values and identify Week Numbers among other things. It comes with documentation and a sample Liberty Basic program that demonstrates the function at work.
Find it on the LB3 Page at :
http://www.freewebz.com/lb-connection
Thanks - Brad

I can't promise to have an entry, but I can promise to try.  I've even got a start. Does that make four?
(I expect everyone to be polite and NOT laugh at the dumb newbie entering a contest against "real" database programmers. This is totally new stuff for me and I am doing it to learn, not to win.)

Ok, I will bite too. Sounds like a fun challenge. Most of my finished apps for LB have been games, so this will make a nice break.
Also, not trying to win, just to compete - fun to be in someone else's contest once in a while - as Alyce can atest to.
