Using FullCalendar
Using FullCalendar
About the Book
I believe fullCalendar is the best JavaScript based calendar solution a developer could wish for. The features are compelling and the documentation is excellent. If you are reading this I guess you also agree. ;)
This book follows the same style as my pyFPDF book. I share many code samples and advice that you may find helpful while working with `fullCalendar`. Although the documentation is excellent and Google and StackOverflow are a developer's best friends, I think that by centralizing and organizing our knowledge in one place, a book for example, we can learn better our tools.
This book will be of help to you as it has already been for me. Trying to teach a subject is one of the best ways to learn it.
When you buy the book all code samples and resources will be available in a ZIP package linked from the "Introduction".
