How is TimeTabler developed?
| TimeTabler has been in continuous development for over 40 years.
It was the first timetabling program to run on a microcomputer, and it remains the best. Earlier versions ran on a PET computer and then a BBC computer (in the 1980s), on a DOS-PC (in the 1990s) and now on Windows in the 21st Century. We are the UK experts on timetabling …after all we wrote the timetabling ‘bible’, ‘Timetabling – A timetabler’s cookbook’ (ISBN 978-0-9561161-0-9). More details here. We encourage our Users to add items to the Wish-List. Every year we use the Wish-List to add new features to the program for an annual Upgrade. |
