One EPIC Place Website Scheduler Nicholas Agneta Fall 2018 Adviser - Professor Pham

Business Context and Goals One EPIC Place is a coworking space rental service located in New Paltz, New York. The co-founders Julie Robbins and Nicole Langlois rent out space in several different buildings to provide offices for individuals, groups, and classes to work, often alongside each other. They also provide classes about business management among other things. Business website: “oneepicplace.com” but use a service called “YaRooms” for the actual reservations and bookings of the rooms. YaRooms has a point system and 5 minute increments which is useful YaRooms does not have many of the customizable features that they want such guest booking or the ability to run reports

Technical Requirements Environment: Software is a website connected to a database Processing: Registration User information including: full name, email, password, occupation Login Uses registration information from the database Profile Page Users will be able to customize their pages and see other members information Scheduler Form-based, User can select start and end times as well as the room

Front-end components Front-end development Client-side of the code. How the user interacts with the scheduler and other functions on the website The client is how the user can communicate requests to the server and database HTML / CSS / JavaScript

Back-end components Server-side programming Creating and manipulating the server-side code. PHP is the main language we are using for the server The sessions allow us to collect data and store them temporarily without having to make several calls to the database The server acts as an intermediary between the client-side interface and the back-end database that is storing all of the information

Database Structure Currently, we have created the tables with all of the key information OEP has provided to us. In the future the database will include many more keys and connections, as well as additional data points as needed. Work will also be done to streamline the the tables, so information is not duplicated within our database.

Problems we overcame The clickable calendar made in JavaScript returns a date, but passing variables from JavaScript to PHP is difficult and will need to be implemented in the future Team member dropped out half-way through The scope of the project was too large for one semester’s work Especially because it had to be restarted from previous semesters

Future Work to be done Email Verification Clickable JavaScript calendar Option for recurring events Membership tiers Payment method and Point system “https://” redirect
