It's a possibility.

Right now, I have a NSDictionary that hold everything (events for the next 30 days, so that if the user switch to the next 7 days, I don't have to refetch the events from the CalDAV server), where the key is the room. The value for this dict is an array of NSDictionary for each programs for the room, and for each program, I have another NSDictionary where the keys are the date with the time ("2012_12_14_08_00").

I have the code to do it, but the code requires that I send the time period (day and hour) + the room name, and I have no idea on how I can construct the table or divs so that when I build the intersection, I know which room and period it is.
