PYTHON PROJECT FOR PRACTICE
CURRENCY CONVERTER WITH PYTHON

GUI with Tkinter

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The goal of the challenge is to build a desktop application with the Tkinter library to convert amounts from one currency to another.
There are two main parts:
1) GUI
2) API call
1) You will have to create the graphical user interface according to certain requirements. To make it work, the application will have buttons, a progress bar and a drop-down menu.
2) The app has to display the converted amounts using live exchange rates. You will have to write an API call to get the exchange rates and implement it as the engine of the application.
It is also a fantastic project to practice object oriented programming since classes and methods are highly recommended in GUI programming.
The project includes a guidelines section with the challenge broken down in several steps so you can finish the job step by step.
