This document provides an overview of practical user experience (UX). It discusses the history of UX dating back to the 5th century BC and how the focus has shifted to prioritizing the user experience over design and imitation. The key components of UX are outlined as information architecture, usability, accessibility, interface design, and development. Agile principles are also summarized that emphasize satisfying customers through collaboration and adaptability over rigid processes.
