I recently took a programming class and for my final project, I am creating a new soap calculator.

**Disclaimers**
It is NOT FINISHED and several things don't work right now but, if you calculate your recipe by weight (not percentage) it SHOULD be right but, please run your recipe through another calculator for actual use.

That said, you can play with mine and see how it develops over time if you wish. Feel free to respond with ideas and suggestions but, keep in mind that this is definitely a work in progress and things will be changing all the time. I have several features / changes in the pipe already but, I need to get some other stuff done first.

Well, it appears to work (for weight, as you said). The programming seems fine, but that is really only a part of it. In many ways, programming is as much art as science. You have a blank canvas to fill. While the technical aspects appear intact, the end result is a less enjoyable version of Soapee. Which is fine as an exam piece from a technical aspect, but if there are marks awarded for creativity and so on, it's nothing new in there at all.

But kudos on the programming work itself - it's not always easy to get it right. A tip, though - if a feature such as % based recipes is not working, hide the buttons. Leave only what does work rather than having bits that don't yet work. That kills user buy-in
