Several kinds of forms exist online: sign-up forms, order/checkout forms, and surveys. Regardless of the type of form you’ll need for your business, a bad UI can cost you returning customers. A staggering 88% of users won’t come back to a website if they had a negative user experience, so you’ll need to get it right on the first try.

While the majority of this content focuses on the single-line TextField component, you can apply these principles throughout your webforJ app to help prevent abandonment and make your forms stand out.

As I went through my computer science education at Oregon State, I realized pretty quickly that I enjoyed the UI side of things. Messing around with CSS (yes, even trying to center a div) and making pages that looked nice appealed to me way more than databases and business logic.

Somehow, I ended up working at a company that primarily used Java. Lucky for me, the project I ended up on was a Java web framework - back in my comfort zone!

I've been able to keep myself pretty much in UI land since then, in my comfort zone and happy to let my colleagues deal with all that back end stuff.

Recently our framework, webforJ, released Spring integration, and with that, my blissful isolation in UI land came to an end. As my first foray into full-stack development, I was asked to build a (very, very simple) CRUD application using Spring and webforJ both so I could learn more about the back end, and also showcase webforJ and Spring together in one project.

TLDR: It went well.
