Description

Just like expressions are the foundation of the Mathematica kernel, boxes are the foundation of the Mathematica frontend. Any kernel operation is fundamentally an exercise in creating and manipulating expressions. Similarly, frontend programming is oftentimes about creating and manipulating boxes. Understanding boxes is a necessary component for any sophisticated interaction with the frontend.
