I was lucky enough to attend a workshop run by Dan and Ben––the authors of this book––about prototyping a few years ago. I remember thinking at the time, “I wish there was a book that talked about the what, how, and why of prototyping”. So when SitePoint asked me to help co-ordinate a series of books on UX, this particular book was top of the list.
Before reading this book I had no idea you could quickly make a shareable, clickable prototype with nothing more than a Sharpie, some paper, and a clever set of easy-to-use tools; from paper to mobile screen in minutes. There are many ways to prototype and this book helps you take your ideas and make them real.
The power of a prototype is the ability to take user needs, prioritise them and present them back to the project in a way that doesn’t require endless documentation. User experience is full of cliches, but it’s true a picture really is worth a thousand words.

This book is for beginner-level UX professionals, web designers, and developers who want to get a practical introduction to prototyping techniques. No prior experience with prototyping is assumed.
