What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?
What I Am Most Proud Of:
I am most proud of successfully implementing a fully responsive design that adapts seamlessly to various screen sizes. Additionally, I effectively used JavaScript to handle input validation and perform accurate date calculations, ensuring a smooth and interactive user experience. I also integrated custom fonts to enhance the app's visual appeal.
What I Would Do Differently Next Time:
Next time, I would focus more on enhancing accessibility by using ARIA attributes and improving keyboard navigation. I would also consider using CSS Grid for more complex layouts and possibly integrating a JavaScript library or framework, such as React, to make the code more modular and maintainable.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?
One of the main challenges I encountered was validating user input to ensure that the entered date was both correct and meaningful (e.g., no invalid dates like February 30th). Additionally, accurately calculating the age in years, months, and days from the given date posed some difficulty due to the variations in month lengths and leap years.
To overcome these challenges, I implemented JavaScript functions to check for valid dates and handle errors gracefully with appropriate messages. For the age calculation, I used the Date object in JavaScript to compute the difference between the current date and the input date. This allowed me to handle the complexities of date arithmetic, such as month lengths and leap years, more effectively. I also tested the app with a variety of dates to ensure its accuracy and robustness.
