ANDROID APPS

It is the process by which new applications are created for devices running the Android
operating system. Applications are usually developed in Java (and/or Kotlin; or other such
option) programming language using the Android software development kit (SDK), but other
development environments are also available, some such as Kotlin support the exact same
Android APIs (and bytecode), while others such as Go have restricted API access.

The Android software development kit includes a comprehensive set of development tools.
These include a debugger, libraries, a handset emulator based on QEMU, documentation,
sample code, and tutorials. Currently supported development platforms include computers
running Linux (any modern desktop Linux distribution), Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later, and
Windows 7 or later. As of March 2015, the SDK is not available on Android itself, but
software development is possible by using specialized Android applications.

Internship Report 2023-24

WEB APPLICATION
It is a client–server computer program in which the client (including the user interface and
client- side logic) runs in a web browser. Common web applications include web mail,
online retail sales, online auctions, wikis, instant messaging services and many other
functions. web applications use web documents written in a standard format such as HTML
and JavaScript, which are supported by a variety of web browsers. Web applications
can be considered as a specific variant of client–server software where the client software is
downloaded to the client machine when visiting the relevant web page, using standard
procedures such as HTTP. The Client web software updates may happen each time the web
page is visited. During the session, the web browser interprets and displays the pages,
and acts as the universal client for any web application. The use of web application
frameworks can often reduce the number of errors in a program, both by making the code
simpler, and by allowing one team to concentrate on the framework while another focuses on
a specified use case. In applications which are exposed to constant hacking attempts on the
Internet, security- related problems can be caused by errors in the program.

Frameworks can also promote the use of best practices such as GET after POST. There
are some who view a web application as a two-tier architecture. This can be a “smart” client
that performs all the work and queries a “dumb” server, or a “dumb” client that relies on a
“smart” server. The client would handle the presentation tier, the server would have the
database (storage tier), and the business logic (application tier) would be on one of them
or on both. While this increases the scalability of the applications and separates the
display and the database, it still doesn’t allow for true specialization of layers, so most
applications will outgrow this model. An emerging strategy for application software
companies is to provide web access to software previously distributed as local applications.
Depending on the type of application, it may require the development of an entirely
different browser-based interface, or merely adapting an existing application to use
different presentation technology. These programs allow the user to pay a monthly or
yearly fee for use of a software application without having to install it on a local hard
drive. A company which follows this strategy is known as an application service provider
(ASP), and ASPs are currently receiving much attention in the software industry.

Security breaches on these kinds of applications are a major concern because it can involve
both enterprise information and private customer data. Protecting these assets is an important

Internship Report 2023-24

part of any web application and there are some key operational areas that must be included in
the development process. This includes processes for authentication, authorization, asset
handling, input, and logging and auditing. Building security into the applications from the
beginning can be more effective and less disruptive in the long run.

WEB DESIGN
It is encompassing many different skills and disciplines in the production and maintenance of
websites. The different areas of web design include web graphic design; interface design;
authoring, including standardized code and proprietary software; user experience design;
and search engine optimization. The term web design is normally used to describe the design
process relating to the front-end (client side) design of a website including writing mark up.
Web design partially overlaps web engineering in the broader scope of web development.
Web designers are expected to have an awareness of usability and if their role involves
creating markup then they are also expected to be up to date with web accessibility
guidelines. Web design partially overlaps web engineering in the broader scope of web
development.

 3. INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION TO UI/UX DESIGN

User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) design are pivotal components in the
development of digital products and services. They play a crucial role in ensuring that
technology not only functions effectively but also provide a seamless and enjoyable
experience for users. This introduction aims to provide an overview of UI/UX design, its
significance, and its relevance in the modern digital landscape, setting the stage for the
internship report that follows.

1. Definition of UI/UX Design:

UI design refers to the creation of the visual elements that users interact with in a digital
interface. It encompasses the layout, aesthetics, and overall look and feel of a product or
website. On the other hand, UX design focuses on the user's journey and overall
experience while using the product. It involves understanding user needs, conducting
research, and designing interfaces that are intuitive, efficient, and enjoyable to use.

2. Significance of UI/UX Design:

Effective UI/UX design is crucial for several reasons:
 Enhanced User Satisfaction: A well-designed user interface and experience lead to
increased user satisfaction, higher user retention, and positive word-of-mouth
recommendations.
 Improved Efficiency: Intuitive design can make complex tasks easier to complete,
reducing user frustration and boosting productivity.
 Competitive Advantage: In a crowded digital market, superior UI/UX design can
set a product apart from competitors and attract a loyal user base.
 Cost Savings: Proper UI/UX design reduces the need for extensive post-launch fixes
and updates, saving time and resources.
 User-Centered Approach: UI/UX design focuses on the needs and preferences of
users, ensuring that products meet their expectations and requirements.

FEEDBACK ON WORK

Internship Report 2023-24

 7. FEEDBACK ONWORK
 UI Design Creativity:
The use of Figma for redesigning the UI is a practical choice. However, the feedback
on the actual design creativity and innovation is missing. It's essential to evaluate the
visual appeal and uniqueness of the proposed UI elements, color schemes,
typography, and graphics.

 Alignment with Branding:

The feedback should emphasize the importance of aligning the new UI design with
the website's branding. This includes checking if the chosen design elements, colors,
and fonts are consistent with the brand identity.

 Mobile Responsiveness Testing:

If mobile responsiveness was a focus, the feedback should address how well the UI
design adapts to various screen sizes. Ensure that the mobile version provides a
seamless and user-friendly experience.

 User-Centric Approach:
Evaluate whether the redesigned UI elements prioritize user experience and usability.
Consider user feedback or usability testing to ensure that the design improvements
meet user needs.

 Navigation Improvement:
Assess whether the redesigned navigation menu simplifies the structure and improves
user accessibility. Verify if users can easily find key sections, such as recipes or
restaurant reviews.

 Responsive Prototyping:
If interactive prototypes were created in Figma, provide feedback on the functionality,
intuitiveness, and user-friendliness of these prototypes. Ensure that they meet user
expectations and needs.

 Testing and Feedback Loops:

Recommend conducting user testing to gather real user feedback on the redesigned
UI. This feedback can be invaluable for making iterative improvements based on user
preferences and behaviors.

Internship Report 2023-24

  Visual Consistency:
Pay attention to visual consistency in terms of color usage, typography, and element
styling throughout the UI design. Inconsistencies can lead to a less polished user
experience.

 Accessibility Considerations:
Check whether accessibility guidelines have been followed in the UI design. Ensure
that text is legible, color contrasts are sufficient, and there are no accessibility barriers
for users with disabilities.

 Performance and Loading Times:

While Figma primarily focuses on design, it's important to note that heavy design
elements can impact website loading times. Ensure that design choices don't adversely
affect performance.

 Feedback on Specific UI Elements:

Provide detailed feedback on specific UI elements, such as buttons, forms, images,
and icons. Ensure they are intuitive and consistent with the overall design.

 Final User Testing:

Suggest conducting final user testing with the redesigned UI in a live or staging
environment to ensure that it performs well under real-world conditions.

 Documentation and Handoff:

Assess the clarity and completeness of design documentation and handoff materials
created in Figma for developers. These materials should facilitate the implementation
of the new design.

 Overall Assessment:
Summarize the strengths and weaknesses of the UI redesign, highlighting areas of
excellence and areas that need improvement. Provide a clear sense of whether the
redesign is ready for implementation or if further revisions are necessary.

Figma is a cloud-based design and prototyping tool that operates in a web browser, making it
compatible with various operating systems. Since it's cloud-based, you don't need to
download or install it like traditional software applications. However, there are some basic
requirements to use

FIGMA EFFECTIVELY:

 Web Browser: Figma is primarily a web application, so you need a modern web
browser. The following browsers are recommended for the best experience:
 Internet Connection: A stable and reasonably fast internet connection is essential to
work in Figma since all design files and assets are stored and accessed online.
 Device Compatibility: Figma is compatible with a wide range of devices, including
Windows PCs, macOS, and even some Linux distributions. It also works on Chrome
OS for Chromebook users.
 Account: To use Figma, you need to create an account. Figma offers both free and paid
plans, each with different features and capabilities.
 Optional Desktop Apps: While Figma primarily operates in a web browser, it also
offers desktop applications for Windows and macOS. These desktop apps can provide a
more seamless experience and offline access to your design files.
 Hardware Requirements: The hardware requirements for using Figma are generally
modest and depend on the complexity of your design work. A modern computer with a
decent CPU, sufficient RAM, and a good graphics card (for handling complex designs)
is recommended.
 Input Devices: To interact with Figma effectively, you'll need input devices like a
mouse or trackpad. For design work, a graphics tablet or stylus may also be useful.
 Plugins and Integrations: Depending on your workflow, you may want to explore
Figma's plugins and integrations with other design and collaboration tools. These can
enhance your productivity and extend Figma's capabilities.
 Up-to-Date Browser: Ensure that your chosen web browser is up to date to avoid
compatibility issues. Figma regularly updates its features and may require the latest
browser versions for optimal performance.
