Title: Build a Simple Calendar Application in C – Academic Project for Beginners


Introduction

Are you a student learning C programming? Looking for an academic project that helps you apply file handling, functions, and struct concepts? 🚀

In this blog, we’ll explore a Calendar Application in C, designed for small-scale users. This menu-driven console application allows users to view calendars, add events, and set reminders, while storing data in a file (events.dat). This is a perfect project for students aged 8-16 to practice real-world programming!


Project Overview

Programming Language: C
 
IDE: Code::Blocks with MinGW C Compiler
 
Target Users: Beginner students (Academic Project)
 
Features:
 ✔ View Monthly Calendar
 Add, Edit & View Events
 File-Based Data Storage (events.dat)
 ✔ Simple
Text-Based UI for easy interaction


Project Features & Implementation

📅 1. View Calendar

     Allows users to input month & year to display a calendar.

     Uses date functions to calculate days & weeks correctly.

📝 2. Add Events

     Users can add events with a title and description.

     Data is stored in binary format (events.dat).

🔍 3. View Events

     Displays all scheduled events.

     Events persist even after restarting the program.

💾 4. File Storage & Data Management

     Saves events automatically using file handling in C.

     Events are loaded on program start.


Code Implementation

The program follows a modular approach, using separate functions for event management, calendar display, and file handling. The core logic includes:

     Structures (struct Event) for event storage.

     File handling (fopen, fwrite, fread) for event persistence.

     Loop & switch-case statements for the menu-driven interface.

How to Run the Calendar Application in Code::Blocks

1️⃣ Open Code::Blocks and create a new C project.
 2️⃣
Copy & paste the provided C code into calendar.c.
 3️⃣
Build & Run (Press F9).
 4️⃣
Interact with the console-based menu to manage events.

🔹 Events are stored in events.dat, ensuring data is saved even after program termination.


Conclusion

This Calendar Application in C is a great academic project for students to learn practical C concepts. With features like calendar display, event management, and file-based storage, this project builds foundational programming skills while being fun and interactive. 🎯

💡 Next Steps: Want to enhance the project? Try adding:
 
Recurring Events
 Graphical UI (ncurses Library)
 Exporting Events to a Text File

Happy Coding! 🚀
