Effective Prototyping
Nederlandse VersieTogether with the authors of “Effective Prototyping for Softwaremakers”, Flipside and Stroomt organize workshops and lectures for professionals in the software industry. During these sessions you will learn how to use prototypes more effectively by using the right prototype at the right moment in the software development cycle.
These sessions will help software makers (developers, designers, architects and more) build effective prototypes every time: prototypes that convey enough information about the product at the appropriate time and thus set expectations appropriately.
These sessions will help anyone, regardless of artistic ability, access to special tools, or programming ability. It will teach how to use good prototyping styles, methods, and tools to build prototypes and manage for effective prototyping.
