Schedule World

A new major release of ScheduleWorld is now available.

1. A brand new contacts webapp written using web 2.0 features has replaced the old contacts webapp. This new web 2.0 application is a shining example of what web 2.0 can do.

• It works offline. That’s right, you can now view/edit/delete your contacts while disconnected from the network and sync them up later.
• Extremely fast synchronization.
• Lots of advanced Ajax, CSS and DHTML make the application work and feel like a desktop application - but even better as it runs in your browser.
• Integrated with Google Maps.
• Highly bandwidth efficient. No HTML tags or rendering information is sent over the network.
• Close to zero network latency for most operations.

2. Significant optimizations and enhancements are in place to help the system scale.
