Introduction to Prototyping

What will you learn

 

A prototype is an early model of a product used for testing a concept or visualizing an idea. This module covers the whole aspect of prototyping which can be an early sample of an app which is not fully functional and contains a basic UI or even sketches.

The module will be extremely helpful for future programmers and UI/UX designers by providing a sound foundation for building apps for future clients. The aim of it is to allow testing an idea without building an actual app.
