Student review (2026-07-28, translated): As a second-year prerequisite for the UX major, I think this course is an advanced version of INFO10003 but more chaotic—it's all form over substance. To sum it up: just after learning to screw, you're building a plane; just after learning to plaster, you're building a house; just after learning to survey, you're landing on the moon; just after learning to flip a pan, you're serving meals. The connection between lectures and tutorials is almost zero.
On Reddit: "User Interface Development (INFO20005) taught all of this when I took but it was more focused on html and css with a little bit of js (1 lecture)"
On Reddit: "Yeah I think it's useful. You will build up a Prototype using Adobe XD, and then really develop it by HTML + CSS + js. At least interesting for me."
