At the moment, we have information on CS classes, but it's organized like a print document, and uses very few of the advantages available to the internet medium. Recommend we create a mySQL database with all the classes, and let students search for classes using various criteria, such as teacher name, time available, class level, etc. Particularly recommend a user-friendly interface for showing what classes will be available when over a multiple-year timespan, simplifying the often daunting challenge of figuring out the availability of alternate-year classes. Of course, a simple interface for a teacher to add or modify a class would also be necessary.

Database of CS classes

At the moment, we have information on CS classes, but it's organized like a print document, and uses very few of the advantages available to the internet medium. Recommend we create a mySQL database with all the classes, and let students search for classes using various criteria, such as teacher name, time available, class level, etc. Particularly recommend a user-friendly interface for showing what classes will be available when over a multiple-year timespan, simplifying the often daunting challenge of figuring out the availability of alternate-year classes, which make up a rather large portion of the CS curriculum. Of course, a simple interface for a teacher to add or modify a class would also be necessary.
