This course discusses the task of creating frontends (user interfaces) for computer systems and applications. Several interface types will be presented, including visual, audio and haptic, and students will be challenged to their comparison. Following this introduction, underlying design principles will be discussed: multi-tier architecture, model-view-controller, event handling. Some optimization
techniques will be presented as well, namely multithreading processing and presenting partial information. As an excercise students will have to design and implement their own user interface of a non-trivial backend system. Students will have to make a choice which information should be selected for presentation and decide on the form of presentation.
