A helpful guy named Adam Wolfe Gordon has borrowed my volunteer script, rewritten it, and released it to the public for download and modification.
I learned a few things from this experience:
1. It takes a lot longer to prepare a script for general use than for just one institution.
2. I am definitely a hack programmer! That’s good enough for my purposes, but Adam rewrote the script properly.
3. I finally realized my goal of disseminating some of the script work I have been doing for schools.
Let me know if you download and use Shift Scheduler. Also let me know if you are interested in the other scripts I write about (see the programming category of this blog).
