For this course it is necessary to have basic knowledge of programming, computer structures, software engineering, etc; knowledge that, on the other hand, is acquired in the first two years of the degree.
This subject is integrated into the subject of SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS of the curriculum and serves as the basis for the following subject: Human-Computer Interaction II.
The user interface is the visible part of the computer applications. In the discipline of human-computer interaction, the need to achieve an adequate user interface is mandatory, allowing the users do the tasks in an easy way. Obviously, the interface should be aesthetically pleasing, but always with the maximum of facilitating user interaction with the application. With the study and application of this subject, the student will develop applications taking into account fundamental, basic and previous considerations such as the person, interaction mechanisms or some design rules.
