User interaction constitutes a very important layer in software architecture. This layer comprises all the ways, such as web interfaces and mobile applications, that end users can approach and use our applications.

For this reason, user interaction needs to be implemented with very high attention to detail. A badly designed, poorly performing user interface will compromise the overall user experience, even if the rest of the application is well written and performs really well.

In this chapter, we are going to explore the ...
