About this course

This course will introduce you to the fundamental concepts of User Interface Design as they apply to building applications in Tulip.

We'll explore core concepts from UX/UI design, and spend plenty of time reviewing the functionality offered in Tulip's Application editor.

The goal here is to help you see new visual aspects of applications, and develop a conceptual architecture for building more useable, scalable apps.


NOTE: This is an intermediate course. It assumes that you already know the basics of the Tulip platform. If you're new to Tulip, you'll get much more out of this course after completing "Tulip Essentials."
