Convert
A simple temperature conversion application created for Sven Anderson's software interface design course, September 2003

 

As an in-class assignment, we were asked to do a few quick sketches of a program that will convert celsius to farenheight or vice versa. 3 requirements were imposed:

1. The user needs to get a result as quickly as possible
2. Must accept negative values
3. Should be precise to 2 decimal places

 

Can you tell i'm a minimalist? The application has two text input boxes, which also will double as the output. As the user enters a value in one input box, the converted temperature appears in the other.

 

Here is the final product as a Cocoa application for Mac OS X.

You can even download a copy of it.
