Volunteer management system

Project (M.S., Computer Science) -- California State University, Sacramento, 2011.The Volunteer Management System is an application developed to help aid the City Of Sacramento for managing their volunteers and the events hosted by the different departments. The volunteer coordinators currently handle such activities manually over the phone and by emails since they have chosen not to opt for the paid applications available in the market. \ud Along with developing the application, I researched various methods by which a database can be updated using a Short Message Service. I used an API to update the SQL Server database of my application through a SMS received from registered volunteers for the number of hours they have worked. Using this feature will provide convenience to the volunteers as well as the coordinators to keep a track of the number of hours worked for the events. This involves allowing interaction between your database and the API service for updating it. Further research can be done to discover alternative ways to interact with the system.Computer Scienc
