Introduction

Sitecore user interface customization is a very wide topic, so this chapter focuses on covering different aspects of it to solve some real-world problems. Content management users typically update content through one of these two interfaces: the Content Editor and Experience Editor. You can extend the Sitecore user interface using commands, ribbons, context menu, gutters, custom experience buttons, custom editor tab, Web Forms, Sheer UI, or SPEAK UI. There are several ways to update content in both the interfaces.

In this chapter, you will learn how to work with all these UI components along with validating items and fields and managing a huge list of items by applying custom sorting algorithms. It also explains how we can create our custom fields and render content from them.
