Then what happened

Yay - now more testing

On prototyping...

• Focus on what you want to test
• Think of the lowest level fidelity you need to test your concept
• Make it quick and keep it dirty

On Tooling....Beware | Be aware

• Research some good sources for your interests keep tabs on the tools that are out there
• Get connected and share your experiences with others - learn about the tools others are using
• Don't get too attached, tools come and go
• Any flash developers out there?....
• Really just focus on what will add value to your work and help you move quickly
