Task Manager

Introduction

Date Created: 3/16/2021 [COGS 18 Final Project]

Welcome to Task Manager 1.0

The objective of this project is to have a Terminal-runned or Jupyter Notebook based local task planning service, functionalities of this project include:

• add/delete tasks
• preview all tasks in list
• view all tasks in detail
• automatically save tasks (if there are tasks active before quitting Task Manager)
• automatically re-open tasks from previous sessions (if it exists)

Notes:

• To run this program in Jupyter Notebook: Import the program and call the "demo" function from script.py as belows. (Look at "Task_Manager_Demo_Notebook.ipynb")
• To run this program in Terminal, make sure Python 3 is installed. Head to folder program_script and run: "Python3 script" (preferred method)

Run Program in Terminal/Command Prompt

1. Download Task_Manager folder (Entire file)
2. Open terminal/Command Prompt, switch directory to ../Task_manager/program_script
3. After the current direcotry is set to program_script, run script.py by:

python3 script.py

4. Program now runs, be ware the defaulted data storing location will be located at "Task_Manager\data.md"

About Author

This Project is made by Jason H. for COGS 18 course.

I started with AP Comp Sci course with Java. Transitioned to Python after the course. I this is my 3rd Python Project. I have been using Python to code for about a year (with pauses in between)

Skills I learned and mastered upon complete this project:

• Object-Oriented Programing for Python (Classes, Functions, Main script)
• Accessing external file (os, open file, write/read file)
• PEP8 Formatting
• Formal documentation with Docstrings
• Function Testing (Note: Automatic/Manual testing)

Things planned to be included in Task_Manager 2.0 (Coming Soon):

• Choose a task to turn it into calander file (.ics)
• Sort tasks
• Convert to popular data formats such as json, csv
