SRCCON Schedule

The code underneath the schedule app for SRCCON. Some short notes on the current version:

• published via the wonderful GitHub Pages
• stores data in a single json file, generated by a Python script that pulls data from a Google Docs spreadsheet
• provides a full, searchable session list in addition to daily schedule tabs
• highlights schedule tab for current date if possible
• uses localstorage for session favoriting, populating a per-device custom schedule tab
• can use appcache, such as it is, to provide offline support for those special conference wifi moments
  • repo includes local versions of OpenSans font files, to get around cache manifest fetching bugs in some browsers
  • does its best to handle "back" navigation in offline mode, where there is no window.history
• relies on jQuery and Underscore for DOM and data manipulation
• uses marked for pretty text formatting

Some components are bespoke. For example:

• variable names for session metadata are currently tied to the data layout for our SRCCON planning spreadsheet
• tab dates are defined in the schedule template, rather than calculated by looking for unique values from the list of sessions
• color categories are tied to SRCCON's 1- and 2.5-hour session formats
