Make personal class scheduling simpler

banwebplus

Make personal class scheduling simpler.

Example use

The project is currently in use at https://banwebplus.com.

Why?

This project was originally conceived to help New Mexico Tech students create a user schedule. The school's existing website is awful to use. Putting together classes for a schedule was a painstaking process that often took 2-3 hours every semester. Now, it takes 5 minutes. Just ignore the 300+ hours I spent putting it together.

Installing

1. Install MySQL, Apache, and git
2. clone project to /some/path/banwebplus
3. access /some/path/banwebplus in a web browser (may require some amount of Apache configuration)
4. follow the steps necessary to make all statuses successful (green)

---------------------------- Future/Unobtanium Goals ----------------------------

Todo

Assign myself these as tasks within Hub "Issues" - and put these remarks in there instead. (see https://github.com/features/project-management) Maybe I can't create issues since I technically don't own the code and just forked it. Maybe just do a workaround with todo txt files?

Ask why website is broken. Acquire updated version of this repo and test against site.

Todo Feature

Create a database of all previous years schedules and allow it to be searched upon. It would be cool to have as an archival/historical record anyway especially if it mysteriously dissapears from the source website.
