frontend mentor's REST Countries API

This is a frontendmentor.io project to build a functional calculator application that closely matches their defined design specifications. Like all good web applications, it should easily scale from mobile to desktop resolutions. The code and live application are hosted on github!

My Experience

Many coding tutorials involve calculators, so doing this project seems like a boring choice (to be blunt). But, I found the challenge of matching a design specification that involved multiple themes and grid elements to be a good warm up before tackling some React applications.

The biggest challenge for this project was coding the calculator that used mouse and keyboard input. While the event listeners are fairly straightforward, anticipating and handling all the various keyboard and mouse input can be tricky.

Ultimately, I enjoyed this project very much and would recommend it to any junior front end developer that wants some experience with JavaScript and wants to flex some HTML and CSS skills.
