Description: With today's highly interactive software, designing on paper is not enough. Without being able to play with the interface, you can't really know how it will work. Rather than putting this off to the development phase or an explicit prototyping phase, start prototyping while designing. Learn how to build quick prototypes to answer specific design questions.
