&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;h2 class="title"&gt;WHY PROTOTYPE&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the best explanations of why prototyping a design is important by Young Kim, of Microsoft Hardware. via &lt;a href="http://jayki.tumblr.com/"&gt;jayki&lt;/a&gt; When you prototype “you will have made all the big mistakes, so your customers don’t have to go through that pain.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://blog.uipads.co/post/8473308577</link><guid>http://blog.uipads.co/post/8473308577</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Aug 2011 11:41:11 -0400</pubDate><category>prototyping</category></item><item><title>Paper Prototyping: The Fast and Easy Way to Design and Refine User Interfaces</title><description>&lt;a href="http://t.co/G6E44pZ"&gt;Paper Prototyping: The Fast and Easy Way to Design and Refine User Interfaces&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="150" width="150" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51aujfTHyvL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg" align="left"/&gt;Yes, there is a &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://t.co/G6E44pZ"&gt;book on paper prototyping&lt;/a&gt;! It’s “&lt;span&gt;The practical guide on using paper prototyping when designing user interfaces”. The author provides &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.paperprototyping.com/download.html"&gt;free sample chapters&lt;/a&gt; on the website.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The premise of this book hits home to the reason I started doing paper prototypes as a contract UI Developer. I found by simply showing the end users what their requirements look like we often solve key problems before a line of code or markup is ever written! By getting early feedback you are able to save so much time down the road. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
