UI Design and Frontend Development for OpenTelemetry Demo

This documentation page provides an overview of the UI Design and Frontend Development principles and techniques used in the OpenTelemetry Demo project (https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-demo/).

What is UI Design and Frontend Development?

UI Design and Frontend Development refer to the processes of creating the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) of a web application using various frontend technologies. In the context of the OpenTelemetry Demo, the frontend is built using React, CSS, and other related technologies.

React

React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It allows developers to create reusable components and efficiently render dynamic content. The OpenTelemetry Demo uses React for building the main application components, such as the dashboard and the trace viewer.
