Abstract

Each year the faculty of computer and information science organises a summer school where students are invited to gain knowledge of current technologies in their area of expertise. The goal of current thesis was to create a web application that enables easier organisation of events at the summer school. The aims were to create an easy to use web application offering easy scheduling of the events, ability to modify those events and lastly, to enable communication between speakers and listeners of the events scheduled at the summer school. First, we have defined database model and use case diagrams with planning tool PowerDesigner which later helped us during developing phase. The core of the source code consists of server side scripting language PHP and of jQuerry JavaScript library client side features. The web application was successfully developed. In the planning phase, we created a firm concept which later led us through developing phase with minimum problems. We were able to offer easy administration of events, management of time slots and create discussion board where speakers and listeners can interact in a forum-like environment. Developing this web application the knowledge gained at the faculty was well put to use and helped to form practical solutions to problems. In case developed web application is actually used for the purposes of managing summer school, our goal is to make sure we enable user friendly experience in the future.
