Process of Building an App

There is a typical methodology or process flow for building an app, along with certain typical parts of the app that are included.

The three main parts of an application are:

User Interface (UI)
It refers to what the user sees on the screen and interacts with.
Data
It refers to the information retrieved from back-end systems that generally displays in the UI.
Logic
It defines the actions performed in response to user interactions or application events.

These parts need to be considered right from the start, where it is first recommended to create a high-level plan for the app.

Step-by-Step Example of Building an App

In the following, you learn how to apply what you learned about applications to a real-world app.

In this example, we will be building an app for sports fans. This app lets you select a team to see its players and select a player to see information about them.
