## <i class="fa fa-cogs"></i> The Vision
####Why we came up with the idea
## <i class="fa fa-cogs"></i> The Vision & Muse
####We - The *"JCE Manager Team"* got tired of the cluttered and non-friendly Yedion Website.
At the [Jerusalem College of Engineering][JCE], students tend to monitor their grades day in and day out. They try to understand how their grade point average (GPA) was or will be affected by specific exams and whether it is worthwhile to try to take an exam again or to just let it be.
The data at the website is "static", and we wanted **more** functions regarding data manipulation.
After all its **our** data...
With this in mind, we decided to create a program that will give students access to their college accounts, dismantle the information given and present data in a user-friendly manner.
for example, every semester we always needed to decide if we should take the chance and apply to another test. So, as all of us, we opened an excel spreadsheet and added formulas, and exhausting information...
To start, we allow the courses and grades portion of the student portal to be imported directly into the program. A student’s transcript is then displayed as a table with the option to edit the given grades. With each edit, the student’s GPA will adjust accordingly.
*JCE computer sys admin* didn't want to give us a public API, so we needed so hack the website.
Next, we gave students the ability to import their class schedules from the student portal into the program and with just three clicks, export it as a CSV file.
The project started as an [open API][openAPI] for the Yedion website, and rapidly changed to a full software!
This type of file can be exported to many different calendars such as Google, iCal, and more!
The next part of the program…okay, this part we will leave open for the future as we still have lots of ideas for future versions...
Now we can fetch our Grade-Sheet in one click and manipulate the grades to see our GPA.
There is no need to enter each and every course to our Google Calendar every Semester! One click and we can import all the calendar to Google...
And we still have lots of ideas for future versions...

####*Just For Fun*
Our team consists of two Software Engineering students from the Jerusalem College of Engineering.
The Founder of the idea [Liran Ben-Gida][liran] is the project manager.
[Sagi Dayan][sagi] is a full partner developer and the website maintainer.
Project Manager: [Liran Ben Gida][liran]
<br/>
Co-developer: [Sagi Dayan][sagi]
Both of us are Software Engineer Students at [JCE][jce]. And Develop the software for our fun on our spear time. and we don't have much of it...
We have chosen to spread this useful tool to all students at no cost or any special requirements. Only, if possible, a feedback or a suggestion for optimization.
The software is free and the source code is available to anyone who wants to look.
This open source application was developed in our spare time and is available for and meant to be shared with other students attending our college.
The project is private and free to use \ change and was not done in collaboration with the college
