Course Project - Event Management System19:44
This is the final project in Ruby that incorporates the core concepts of ruby, It is a simple Event Management System. This project would use classes, arrays, hashes, the DateTime class, and control structures like if-else and loops. Here's an outline of the project:

Project Overview
Create a simple console-based event management system where users can add, list, and delete events. Each event will have details such as the event name, date, and attendees list.

Features
Add Event: Prompt the user to enter details such as event name, date, and attendees.
List Events: Display all the events sorted by date.
Delete Event: Allow the user to delete an event by specifying the event name.
Write Events To File: Allow the user to write the each event to a file

Key Concepts to Apply
Classes: Define an Event class with attributes like name, date, and attendees. Use an EventManager class to handle the operations like adding, listing, and deleting events.
Arrays: Use an array to store instances of events.
Hashes: Use a hash to store event details when creating a new event instance.
DateTime: Utilize the DateTime class to handle and format dates properly.
If-else: Use conditional statements to handle menu choices and other decision-making processes.
Loops: Use loops for the menu system allowing users to choose actions until they decide to exit.
Methods: Define methods for each functionality (add, list, delete) in the EventManager class.
Variables: Use variables to store user input and program state.
