CURRENT ISSUE

Sorry, no new issues

Demo or Die - The Art and Science of Prototyping User Interfaces

I'm currently not publishing any new lengthy articles as I'm focusing my efforts on making serious progress on my upcoming book about prototyping.

But now that I have your attention, I have a favour to ask. Please send me a quick mail with a few keywords about your expectations of a book on prototyping (the address is henrik.olsen@guuui.com).

I’m also looking for cases, prototype examples, stories about good and bad experiences with prototyping, ideas – essentially whatever input you might have for the book.
