Prototyping : Helping to take the suck away.<BR>
December 8th @ 3:30 – 5:00<BR>
Lamont Library – Harvard University<BR>

Overview:<BR>
Are your projects going straight from PSDs to Production Code only to <BR>
find out they suck? Prototyping can help take that suck away. By building <BR>
early and often you'll discover what ideas are working and which ones <BR>
are getting tossed. You don't need a big budget, dedicated team or a <BR>
massive timeline to prototype; you can do it quick, dirty and cheap. <BR>
I'll be discussing the benefits of prototyping, the process, how to get <BR>
your company on board, debunking some prototyping myths, and <BR>
demonstrating some techniques using CSS3 and jQuery.<BR>
<BR>
