Abstract
Now that we know a bit about UI elements and screens, we need to make them responsive. Responsiveness isn’t really about just speed—how much work can you do in a period of time. What’s it’s more about is how fast the app feels. When people say that an app is responsive, most often what they mean is that the app doesn’t stop them from doing what they are trying to do. It doesn’t get in their way. If you’ve ever used an application that just froze when a certain button is clicked, you can appreciate what we’re talking about. It doesn’t block.
