I work for a college that recently launched an new website. It still has a few things to work out, but for the most part it is finished.
You can check it out here.
But that's not the part I wanted to talk to you all about. The biggest part I contributed to this website was the calendar app. I turned it from a rough idea on a piece of paper into what I feel is a really usable nice web application.
I had never done any ajax work before and I really wanted to get into it. So this was my first real 'ajax' project. It uses jquery for all the heavy lifting with a php backend that creates and sends json objects. I also use a few jquery plugins such as ui.dialog, blockUI, etc.
I wanted to get some feedback on any areas I could improve in my next project, or any bugs that might of been missed.
Also, if you do play with it, don't forget to play with the options. I supplied two ways of getting event detail, one modal, one just windowed. I think the windowed one is much nicer as you can open more then one event at a time.
So I look forward to your input, good or bad. You can find it at http://www.swmich.edu/calendar
