Creating Calendar

RyLeTo

Hello all,
I hope this is in the right section.

I am looking to create a calendar app, that will show the month and days (full months worth). I want to be able to edit a day so that you can put in a time e.g for a work rota. Then when a day has a stored event, the number will change to visually show you are busy. Hopefully I've made sense. I don;t by any means expect anyone to tell me word for word how to do this, but just some general help in the right direction would be a huge help and greatly appreciated. Thank you

You'll need some pretty serious tables to achieve this. My concern would be entering all of the calendar data ahead of time so that, for example, May 21 2015 is a Thursday. If you stop at a certain year and don't have data beyond that, people may think the world is ending (I'm not making this up, it's happened before).

But seriously, that's a lot of data and I'm guessing you'll have to find a site that already has it readily available as it would be a major pain to create.

I would start with a table that has a row for each day of the month (1-31) and columns for each event that could be created that day. You'll need a start time, end time, and description minimum.

Reality check: do people need another calendar app when they have Google Calendar, etc.? Not being cheeky... just asking!

True, i basically just wanted a simple way for me to put my work days in, and then my friends work days (associate them with a colour) so I could see whos working and when. You're right though, google calendar isn't the worse in the world, i just wanted to make something easier haha! Back to attempting to make a game!

Cheers for your help though!

I love using tables so it's not as daunting to me but it would be a lot of work for something that's probably readily available on the App Store.
