Architecture of User Interfaces

Objectives of this Chapter

• Introduce the look and feel and the usability of user interfaces

• Discuss the design considerations

• Demonstrate the enabling technology

13.1 Overview

Any software system is a service. A good service must satisfy the user's expectations. From the user's viewpoint, the first impression of a software system is its user interface (UI). Due to the fact that any software system should accept inputs, conduct computations, and display outputs, the user interface mainly performs two functions. One is accepting the user's inputs (input data or control commands), and the other is displaying ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
