• Describe an abstract schedule of timed events as an expression, such as the equivalent of:
  "Every Friday at 5:30 pm for 1 hour, except on holidays", for any given time range.
• Parse expressions to an Itinerary ISchedule object at runtime.
• ISchedule provides IEnumerable of timed events within any given time range.
• Perform complex boolean set math on schedules.
• Change ISchedule properties programmatically, then reserialize back to TDL expression string.

• Does not actively run tasks on a schedule. That's your job.
  For that, check out Quartz.NET and the ItineraryTrigger class in the solution.
• Does not perform timezone interpretation or computation. All date/times are timezone agnostic.

• Lightweight, stateless, lazily generate events on demand.
• You need to integrate a cron-like scheduler into your app.
• You already use a scheduler, like Quartz.NET, but need more powerful scheduling logic.
• You need to logically describe arbitrary or complex recurrance patterns.
• You need to forecast scheduled timed events.
• You need to store the recurrance logic (not the events) for later reuse.

• Learn TDL expression syntax from the Itinerary Wiki on GitHub: https://github.com/spoulson/Itinerary/wiki
• Test TDL expression syntax using the TDL Explorer tool in the solution.
• Check out the example projects.
• Refer to unit tests for usage reference.

• Visual Studio 2010 (Professional edition or better required for unit test execution).
• Java SE JDK (optional, required to recompile ANTLR grammar).
• Expl.Itinerary.Quartz project includes Quartz 1.0.3 and Common.Logging 2.0. You may need to update references depending on your requirements.
  • http://quartznet.sourceforge.net/ (Build output contains Common.Logging assembly)

• .NET 4.0 Framework.
