Book description
A practical, step-by-step guide to creating engaging prototypes with Axure
In Detail
This book provides you with a rapid introduction to interactive prototyping. It starts with explaining the basics of Axure RP and quickly familiarizes you with pages, panes, and widgets. It then walks you through designing increasingly compelling experiences by enabling basic, intermediate, and advanced interactions with your own interactive prototype.
You will also learn how to generate common interactions for a typical home page that includes a global header and footer as well as an interactive carousel. You'll also incorporate social media feeds from Facebook and Twitter. You'll enhance your functional prototype with user account creation and login validation; simulate a Content Management System driving catalog, category, and search results pages; and finally learn to fashion a dynamic shopping cart with a progress indicator and checkout interactions.
