Summary


For those of us who have never encountered paper prototyping as a serious discipline, this can feel very weird at first. With any luck, the lessons learned here have expanded your mind and given you a new zeal for crafting a good user experience. If you would like to delve deeper into ideation techniques, the best book I can recommend on the topic is Gamestorming, Dave Gary. This book is available on the following link:

You should now be able to effectively sketch a jQuery Mobile interface for both, your colleagues and customers. In the next chapter, we'll translate what was drawn here into a real jQuery Mobile implementation that goes beyond the normal jQuery Mobile look and feel. Just remember, the user experience and usability come first. Go for quick, focused bursts of intuitive productivity.
