Programming Center Website README
Introduction Many Computer Science Engineering (CSE) students at Yanbu Industrial College (YIC) face difficulties in some subjects. To address this issue, the CSE department has established a Programming Center that provides students with extra help sessions outside of class time. However, the current booking process for the programming center is inefficient, as students have to fill out a Google form for each session and provide academic information for each appointment. To improve the experience for students and teachers, our team has developed a website for the Programming Center that allows for easy booking of sessions, as well as providing additional services like workshops, volunteer applications, and CSE course resources.
Problem Students at YIC face a problem when trying to use the programming center services. They don't have a clear understanding of how it works or what the programming center can provide to help them with their studies. The current process uses Google Forms, which can be confusing and time-consuming for students, and many students face issues when trying to view or book sessions.

It is designed to support the core goal of the enterprise and provides critical functionality that helps the enterprise achieve its objectives and goals. Our team hopes that this website will improve the experience for both students and teachers and enhance the overall effectiveness of the Programming Center.
