Wireframes can die in a fire. They drag down the design process, become obsolete quickly, and lack important information on how a design will behave. Rapid prototyping with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, on the other hand, is an invaluable tool in the design toolbox that allows us to explore and validate a design idea and its interactions, and communicate the results to others while saving valuable time and reducing misinterpretation. In this presentation you'll discover:
- ways to kill wireframes, dead
- how to incorporate rapid prototyping into your design processes
- ways to involve your developers earlier and work closer as a team
- tools and techniques behind effective rapid prototyping
