This is a tool to help college students make a class schedule. Amazingly, this is a relatively unsolved problem for most universities. I've been kicking this idea around for a long time, but only recently had the Javascript chops to pull it off.

I'm aware of a number of bugs and the code could use some cleanup, but it should work in the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox as well as mostly work in Internet Explorer 8. Despite prototype status, I still welcome bug reports, visual and usability design feedback, grand ideas, etc. Hell, feel free to read the source and critique it if you like :-)

One significant problem is the school-individualized data required for this tool to be useful. I suspect that it will be difficult to convince schools to provide the data, even though it is already public and even if I make the tool entirely free. I've considered crowd sourcing, but fear low tolerance for incompleteness and inaccuracies. I'm also considering spidering the data, as well as publishing Specs/APIs for others to provide the data. Any suggestions regarding obtaining course data are greatly appreciated.

Thanks! Brandon Bloom
