Summary

Calendars can add a tremendous amount of functionality to your Web site, both in organization and presentation of information. For the Center Park project, it should be obvious how functional a well-designed calendar can be, in reaching the organizational needs of a varied audience (again, students, teachers, and parents). As you continue to build the Center Park site, you will see how the calendar functionality integrates with other components of your JavaScript, so that—for example—students are presented with a custom calendar listing their specific tasks and events, once they log in to the site. If you plan it correctly, the calendar can be the central launching point for a personalized Web experience, with all major informational aspects for the site building from what is presented on the calendar, be it specific to the user or general to all site visitors.
