• Set yourself a deadline • Create a story for a user to follow - think of the prototype in context, when you test, put the user in the story • Use it a a form of documentation (http://ec2-54-195-16-42.eu- west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/guardian-ngw/) Final thoughts. • Use what’s familiar to start • But don’t put off learning something new • Get a partner to work with - an expert in the system you want to use and learn as you go. • Build your own website
