Prototyping in Axure RP PRO 7

I have been doing rapid prototyping since then, as Russia became aware of Axure. 2008. And design much longer. Although to call the work design can be a stretch. Rather, writing technical tasks, and design for simple websites, the functionality is inferior to even a modern promo.

All had to learn yourself by reading books, experimenting on their projects, practicing on strangers. Changing and complicated technology, along with tools. And the alternatives which I have not found Axure. She was quickly prototypicality anything and to demonstrate the result to the client and other stakeholders.

If the work of the designer can be compared with the work of architect, working drawings, the work of a specialist in prototyping is more like a 3D artist, who makes these drawings the virtual volume layout of the building. On this layout you can walk and see how it really will look like a building before it is constructed. With drawings that would not work. If to continue analogy, the drawing of the building is a functional specification of the project. And any accompanying documentation is already complete technical specifications. And the more complex the project is, the more completely are the three components and the less can live without each other. However, I digress.

Over the years with the program, making a couple of hundreds of prototypes, I've gotten so used to its interface and have gained so many patterns and templates that can now not be distracted by the applied aspect of the implementation of a prototype, all the forces giving it the design, not prototyping. And when I meet people who ask how to make "slides leafing through" or "menu unfolded", I get annoyed, oblivious to the fact that once and he didn't know how to do it all. "The prototype should not be dynamic elements, it will complicate the transfer to the designer," I say. But then, cooled down, realize that sometimes they still need to use, and I myself wasn't able to do.

And then I created the contact group on Axure, which are responsible for everyone on any, even stupid from my point of view, questions. And not only for prototyping but also on the General principles of design and working with clients. If you want, you'll find it easily or for a long time it has.

After that I started to write a little screencasts:
Rapid prototyping in Axure
stick the navigation menu to the top of the page when scrolling
Global variables
the Active item in the navigation menu
manage anchors
the Unfolding questions and answers
All about drop down menu

And most importantly, am I doing this for free. But I see that the demand for such information in certain circles is very high, so the situation may eventually change.

On top of that I organize a webinar on behalf of Protectorate, your office design. Again, if you wish, you can easily find this information too.

It's not a PR, but say: "Here is the bag of information, which did not exist when I started". Come and choose what you need. Love foreign primary sources — I will tell you what sections of the forum Axure to appear. Need articles in Russian? Ask questions where I can answer them, and thanks to you sought-after information becomes available to the whole community.

This, perhaps, is to call it a night. It makes no sense to write about the benefits of Axure 7 version before 6, it would take up too much space and episodes. I will only mention that my speed has increased 40% since the release of sevens. Also I did not write this text for those who do not represent what the Axure interactive prototypes. I will write later in another hub.
