Developed by 3ASJW6 for the Software Engineering Capstone at University of Missouri -- Kansas City in the Fall Semester of 2021

Overview

Connect++ is a calendar application for use by students and faculty of UMKC for creating and managing campus events and involvement. The application will provide all essential functionality that you would expect out of a calendar, including but not limited to, creating events, updating events, cancelling events, and searching users. From Connect++, you can expect ease of use and a high level of readability for a pleasent user experience. It will also allow the user to view their current schedule in several forms including Day View, Week View, and Agenda. Connect++ will allow students to make appointments with UMKC tutors, SI leaders, professors, and advisors. After someone has made an appointment, the application will send automatic notifications to that user’s email.
