This course aims for the students to gain a foundation in how to program user interfaces and understanding of the underlying system architecture. Candidates will acquire advanced understanding in interaction techniques, design cycles and prototyping. Further knowledge of the terminology used by programmers aim to bridge the gap to developers. In practical skills the candidates will be required to design, implement and test/evaluate prototypes, through their developed user interfaces, chosen input/output techniques and executable programs. After successful completion of the course it is expected critical reflection on contemporary themes within user interfaces and the ability to critically discuss suitable UI approached to align with underlying system architecture.
