Understand what simple tools you (as a developer or a designer) can use to make your user interface go from just the average run-of-the-mill Buttons and EditTexts to something that makes your users shout out ‘wow’.

That’s right, leverage ready-to-use constructs to make different, easy-to-use and eye-catching user interfaces on phones and tablets for your existing apps!
