Presenter: Michael Bourque

It is essential you design your app before you go off and build it.

I will show you how easy it is it design your next app and prototype it so you can ensure the user experience is just right. Furthermore, I will show you how to test your app design with real customers and stakeholders with paper prototypes.

I will show you the leading prototyping tools and even give several copies away to attendees. This will be an interactive session, so please come with your laptop. All of you will have software to use to follow along in the session. Then we will break up into teams for some of the exercises.

• How to think about your app and start to experiment with your ideas
  
• Prototyping tools
  
• Prototyping single pages and user interactions
