Here is my general query.

I want to build a web application that will allow users to log in and schedule an appointment with me. I'll also want to handle approving appoinmnets, blocking time slots, opening time slots etc... When a user logs in, I'll want them to be able to see the calendar or schedule and book their times.

What I'd like to know is if anyone has had experience in building an online calendar system. IF so, what language did you write the application in and what type of database did you use?

I'm thinking of using ASP but wondering if Cold Fusion allows for the type of programming I think I'd need.

All thoughts would be welcome!!

Thanks
Sherri
 
if you want to spend alot of time programming go ahead and use ASP.

ColdFusion Prides itself on rapid devleopment.

and yes i have built an online schedule Calendar for an intranet.

you can do the same thing in asp as you can in CF. The theory and Logic behind programming is the same no matter what language you're using. It would probably be easier to use cold fusion then asp.

I've built apps in CF that track items to the second, track employee leave times, all sorts of date/time stuff. It is very possible to do what you require in CF.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
