I’ve replaced a custom event page for the Thistle Society with a list extracted dynamically from a Google Calendar. Following on from the previous article, Loading XML in C# with XML Serialisation, I needed to upload the events into the Google Calendar from my C# application (Event Manager).

The Making of … Kajabity Year Chart – Part 1
I am really proud of Kajabity Year Chart because it is the first time I have produced a complete application all on my own and published it.
