The TASKADE Programming Language

1. The TASKADEProgramming Language by TEAM 9 Andrey Dimitrov - Project manager Christopher Riedered- Language Guru Avner May- System Architect Joyce Kim- System Inegrator Taury Di Cioccio - System Tester

4. TASKADE When life gives you tasks ...

5. Taskade Usage Conventional scheduling applications are context specific. TAKSADE allows the user to program their own context is a simple and intuitive language.

6. Taskade Usage Students and Professionals can use TASKADE to schedule work, study, and everything in between

7. Scheduling with Taskade

9. Language Keywords • Accessible • Intuitive • Flexible • Productive • Multi-Platform

10. Language Keywords • Accessible • Intuitive • Flexible • Productive • Multi-Platform • A syntax with clear, English keywords. • For example: if, else, end, Number

11. Language Keywords • Accessible • Intuitive • Flexible • Productive • Multi-Platform • Appearance similar to other languages like Matlab, Python, SQL. • Few and simple programming constructs make sure new users can't get into too much trouble.

12. Language Keywords • Accessible • Intuitive • Flexible • Productive • Multi-Platform • Scheduling commands with variables allow for a variety of scheduling options. • Input files give users the ability to schedule multiple sets of tasks the same way.

13. Language Keywords • Accessible • Intuitive • Flexible • Productive • Multi-Platform • Easy to quickly create a schedule. • Taskade handles tasks large and small.

14. Language Keywords • Accessible • Intuitive • Flexible • Productive • Multi-Platform • Taskade compiles to Java bytecode, making it easily runnable from any computer with a JVM.

15. Language Example MyScheduler.ts: TaskType homework(String class_name); TaskType exercise(String gym_name); FINISH homework AT LEAST 1:00 BEFORE START exercise; March23.ti: homework make_parser(duration 3:00, priority 9, deadline 04/16/2012@11:00, class_name "PLT"); homework networks_pset( duration 1:00, priority 3, deadline 03/29/2012@01:10, class_name "Networks"); exercise jog( duration 1:00, priority 7, deadline 03/25/2012@11:00, gym "Great Outdoors"); exercise lift(duration 1:00, priority 7, deadline 03/25/2012@11:00, gym "Columbia");

16. Language Example OptionScheduler.ts: Input String mode; TaskType homework(String class_name); TaskType television(); if mode is "relax": START television BEFORE START homework; else FINISH homework AT LEAST 3:00 BEFORE START television; end NowThatOurCompilerIsComplete.ti: // Woohoo! Done writing the compiler! String mode = "relax"; television GameOfThrones(duration 1:00, priority 9, deadline 05/13/2012@22:00);
