UX Camp 2012: Prototype Camp

Prototype Camp delivers a full day of bringing together people who are interested in putting a bit more “build and create” into their craft.

Are you a designer who wants to learn more about how to code but have not yet found your inner codemonkey? Are you a developer who wants to learn more about how to create non-code prototypes but are afraid you just are not one of those creative types? Are you just curious to learn more tips, tricks, and techniques from other smart folks in the design and development community and Prototype Camp simply has not been offered yet?

Have we got a day for you! Prototype Camp is going to bring together many bright minds who can walk you through a variety of methods for making things more made. Mark August 25th on your calendar, register, and come hang out with us.
