A prospective client wants to have a calendar feature on their website. They want the option to go edit this calendar to update the events. Does Word Press offer something like this?
I've seen people use Google Calendar for this. Then you can easily embed google cal in your web pages. Also, if others use Google Cal they can add evens to their calendars.

Update: Looks like this plugin will help with getting google cal into Wordpress if that's what you're looking for :
WoogleCal
Sounds like you might be searching for this.
I'm not sure if Wordpress has that feature but I do know of a Calendar class for PHP that's fairly simple, easy to implement and very easy to style. Check out the tutorial, here.
There is also a PEAR package for calendaring: http://pear.php.net/package/calendar
I second the embeddable Google Calendar. They are very easy to manage as well as add it to the HTML. If you are looking for a Wordpress specific solution in particular take a look at this plugin.

I'm creating calendar events as per following example : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/client-developer/web-service-reference/createitem-operation-calendar-item
I'm using PHP-EWS to achieve it. My code works fine. Although, I want to make the calendar items as read only. I do not see any documentation about it.
Has anyone achieved this?
Can someone direct me to the right direction. Many Thanks.
just learnt that you can't create read only calendar events though the API.

Hope this helps someone in the future.
New iOS developer here. I'm looking to build an app that uses a Wordpress database to populate a news feed, and I've found a good amount of info about grabbing posts from Wordpress but nothing about posting FROM the app TO the database. I know that the code can't be written here, but I was hoping someone knew where I could find how to do this or point me in the right direction. I planned on writing all of my new code in Swift also. Thanks in advance for any advice!
The easiest way to interact with Wordpress is by activating the jetpack api. You can then do almost anything you want. See the full documentation here: https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/
Reading data is easy. you only have to call the correct URL. If you wan to see a sample (written in swift) then have a look at:
https://github.com/evermeer/AlamofireJsonToObjects/blob/master/AlamofireJsonToObjectsTests/WordpressTest.swift
If you want to make updates, then you need to use Oauth2. Here are some libraries that could help with that: https://cocoapods.org/?q=oauth
I have a wordpresss blog where i post a lot of stuffs. Sometimes a few people do write contents for me. They usually write it on google docs and they send me a link.
I would like to write a small plugin whereby on each post there is an option to input the google doc link for an article and pressing a button brings the post onto the wordpress editor.
I much confused about how to proceed with the google docs api part? what is the easiest way to achieve the import ?
Try docs-to-wordpress plugin
This plugin will grab docs out of a collection in Google Docs, create or update a post in WordPress and then move the doc to a new collection. Google Docs no longer supports xmlrpc, so this is perhaps the easiest way to move content from your Google Docs account to your self-hosted WordPress install.
Here's a Google script that will convert a Google Doc to a nice clean html email, that you can copy and paste in a Wordpress editor.

Hope this helps. I have been looking for a solution for a long time. Finally, had to spend some time and make one for myself, as I use Google Docs for authoring my blog posts.
My company just released this Google Drive app. It automatically uploads your Google document to WordPress, including all your images. It also adjusts all the formatting to fit your blog's theme.
I tried to read Twitter API but I'm a newbie and I found it really difficult. What I'd like to acheive is "simple": a news bar to add on my site showing messages I post on my Twitter account, with the date I posted them, like: "08/26 Text | 08/25 Text" and so on. The default ones are too big and with too many informations, I just need a very simple text-only one. Can someone please help?
Something simple like this can probably be done more easily by using the users timeline feed, such as http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=username
I have a super simple example that uses the following and displays it using an AJAX news-scroller type effect over on GitHub. Feel free to use it and modify it as you see fit.
I think you may be looking for this effect

Anyone know a good source for building a custom event calendar?
I recommend you to start from looking to other people work. This are existing classes for calendar applications. You may download them, study, extrapolate or reinvent the wheel if you need to.
use jquery ui for user interface part
If you want something very simple, you could 'share' your Google calendar and export it onto your website.
