hi there, I recently come across the concept of pretotyping. It isn't a misspell, I really meant pretotyping and not prototyping.
A formal definition, from the book: Pretotyping [pree-tow-tie-ping], verb: Testing the initial appeal and actual usage of a potential new product by simulating its core experi- ence with the smallest possible investment of time and money. A less formal definition: Make sure – as quickly and as cheaply as you can – that you are building the right it before you build it right. I think the book is worth reading by everyone working on new ideas and you can get it for free or for very cheap money from Amazon: http://www.pretotyping.org/pretotype-it---the-book If you happen to know the concept already and have used it before, it'd be nice to share the results. -- Giulio Fidente GPG KEY: 08D733BA | IRC: giulivo -- Giulio Fidente IRC: giulivo
