I designed and developed ScheduleMan, a web app to help students plan their schedules.
Featuring a powerful search engine and an innovative AJAX UI that allows students to resolve conflicts quickly, ScheduleMan is used by over 80% of all CMU students.
ScheduleMan's interface is unique because it provides an easy way to switch back and forth between sections of a class, enabling students to quickly move courses around so that they don't conflict.
The UI depends heavily on AJAX, using the Prototype and script.aculo.us. Each time a section is switched, the change is saved to the server and the calendar view is updated dynamically.
“Nice job with ScheduleMan, it's the only good web application CMU's community offers.”

“Is it possible to use ScheduleMan for my schedule even though I go to Oregon State? My friend is going to CMU and he showed it to me. I love the interface. It's great.”
