This course focuses on training UX Engineers. The program is divided into two main parts: user interface (UI) design and front-end development. The first half of the course will immerse students in the fundamentals of UI design, from wireframing to prototyping and user testing. The second half of the course focuses on front-end development, where students learn how to implement their designs using technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as popular frameworks such as React. The course also explores advanced tools like Storybook to document and share UI components effectively.
