No manager is mention.
Even though the scheduling of a class time table is an extremely computerized process, the
accessing of a time table is not. Today, hundreds of students and teachers in our college rely on
the trivial process of referring to poor quality images or relying on memory for knowing their
own class schedule. Our application “9table” is intended to abolish such medieval practices and
introduce modernization in this process.
To explain in brief, our application will have an extensive database of all streams and class’ time
table and the user will be able to access their own schedule via this application. The application
will be interactive and it will interact via notifications and pop ups. Now while we realize that
the student community is varied with a lot of user specific demands, the teacher community is
one that has been largely ignored by mainstream app developers? our app intends to bridge that
gap.
“9Table” will not only be limited to only user classes but will strive for the complete experience
a student/teacher usually goes through during a normal day. Our app will notify the user about
empty class rooms and teacher free slots too.
We developed a systematic approach to create the application, we developed a time bound
schedule which included tackling all the possible aspects and dimensions of creating such an
application.All the concepts of Data Base Management Systems (DBMS) were recalled,also we
decided to use the Google backed android development software android studio because of its
comprehensiveness and efficiency.Our application’s design are a key component to our
project,considering that a massive amount of data will be instantly available to our
users.However since the data is already predefined
there is no need for any algorithms to
regulate the flow of data or quality of data.
There is a massive scope for improvement on such an application and we analyzed all the rival
applications in the Google Play Store, and we realized that while a lot of features such as
notification declaration,or animations or instant messaging could be implemented down the
line,the key aspect that makes our application competitive is our design and simplicity.The
method in which we blend all the existing features while making way for more is what will allow
the user to feel comfortable in using the application.Our recommendation to any future
developers developing such similar applications will be that lay emphasis on the design and
efficiency.
We also faced a lot of difficulties during the entire process,some of them being linking the data
base of the time tables of various classes to the main application,because of the lack of such
abilities on the free SQL servers present in the market.Another issue we faced was the coding for
the sql language,we tackled this issue by developing an excellent piece of coding material to
enable us to overcome the basic problems.These were just some of the mentioned problems.
