    Dynamic calendar

    BruceCSI2 Community Member
      I have a training calendar that gets updated monthly, and so far (since I know NOTHING about development) I've been doing all of the updates by hand from an Excel spreadsheet the head trainer created. I would like to make a calendar that updates automatically when she adds/edits the spreadsheet. Each event is listed on 2 pages: 1) the main calendar and 2) the event detail page where it has the description of the class, date and time, instructor, etc.

      What would be the best way to do this (PHP/ASP.Net/ etc.)? Keep in mind that it takes a long time to get anything ordered around here, so I can't buy an extension.

          It would be better if the workflow would eliminate the spreadsheet altogther and have the user update a web calendar instead. There are plenty of freeware/shareware options available. What server model are you using?

            It's all ASP.Net servers, and everyone around here is hesitant to do any web design. They want to stick with MS Office apps, so I was trying to figure out a way that she could just update the spreadsheet and the changes would be reflected on the calendar.
