Summary


This has been a long chapter but with really important lessons that you need to know about when it comes to the implementation of user interface design on the code side. You should have a clear understanding of the process of handover design to developers, what files and data you need to provide to developers, and what kind of tools you can use to hand over the designs.

Besides that, we discussed the development process, especially for CSS tools such as preprocessors, postprocessors, methodologies, frameworks, and animations. When it comes to frontend development, you should now have a better idea of the tasks and tools that fall under the aegis of frontend development.

It has been a great journey—now, it is time to see what a UX designer does after launching the product. We will explain this part in greater detail in the next chapter.
