Front end Validation

For Two Field (Products and Reactants) entry method.

1. Break down the string a user enters into different molecules based on plus signs
2. Check each molecule to ensure it has valid syntax
   • no series of letters should be anything other than an element.
   • Parenthesis should match and numbers should be in the right places
3. If the user clicks to balance the equation an error message should be thrown without hitting the server.

Is it just me, or is the Element class really poorly encapsulated? We have a bunch of public properties that can be set all willy-nilly with absolutely no error or sanity checking. In fact, as of right now there's no reason to change them after the Element is instantiated, so why not make them {get; private set;} and set them in the constructor? Since we're doing Flyweight design, I can't even think of any reason we would want to change any of them later. If we need an isotope, it'd need to be instantiated separately.

1. Already utilizing MSDN free azure account for free website hosting of angryelectron.azurewebsites.net.
2. AngryElectron.com is already taken, need to decide on an alternative such as angryelectron.net, .us, or whatever.
3. point the second-level-domain at the azure site.

I don't mind changing it myself, but as I didn't author it, I didn't want to do something that'd mess something up somewhere in the Front End.

I have a question about how I'm supposed to instantiate Elements. When the Parser finds the text string "Na," where does it look up information on Sodium's name, atomic weight, etc so it can feed that into the Element's constructor? Is that what the TableOfElements class is for? If so, how do I properly use it?

1. Move stoichiometry calculator to main page
2. Clean up naviagtion to pages that are incomplete
3. Simplify app.
