I have this program that I have to do. I need help as to what I should use in the way of code. I don't want you guys to do it for me just give me clues as to what I should do.I am very lost on this one. I do have the first page coming up but the rest of it is a mystery to me.

Schedule Syncronizer.

Start by having a way to login to the system. The user must be able to "subscribe" to the synchronizing system.

Only users registered will have access to other users’ schedules. They will have to register and select which current users are allowed to view their schedule.

When adding an appointment for yourself, select the slot, the duration and the topic, then add.

When looking for a slot for a suggested meeting, select the slot, duration, invited (from the registered user set). This slot will be "greyed out" in your own schedule until it is confirmed.

Confirmation process: Once you select the time slot(s) and invited users, the system will compare schedules and generate "hit" or "miss" results. If all users can meet, then it will grey out the slot in the other user’s schedule and ask him/her for confirmation (e-mail and in the schedule itself).

The "affected" user will accept or deny the request (using the system, not e-mail). When the system receives confirmation for all parties, the slot is blocked on all schedules.

Try with two users and expand when this works. Minimum functionality is for two users

Your availability files (for schedule) only need to consider a week.
