How to create a round robin scheduling program in Python
Blog post from Nylas
The blog post provides a detailed guide on implementing Round Robin Scheduling using Python and the Nylas platform, focusing on how to manage multiple requests with limited resources, such as shared calendar availability. Round Robin Scheduling, a method derived from CPU task processing, allocates fixed time slots to tasks before moving to the next, making it useful for booking appointments across different calendars. The post walks through steps to modify an existing Nylas Quickstart Guide to create a scheduling application, highlighting how Python offers flexibility in programmatically creating and managing calendars via Nylas's API. It explains the use of edit tokens for calendar modifications and demonstrates how to collect availability across multiple users to optimize scheduling using "max-availability" or "max-fairness" algorithms. The blog encourages readers to explore Nylas's free resources and documentation to further enhance their scheduling applications.
