Axure Prototyping Two-Day Bootcamp
Event Information
Description
You've seen Axure in tons of ads for UX positions. You've heard it helps some of the best designers to craft world-class experiences, down to the micro-interactions.
It's time to learn Axure, and learn it right.
By Monday, you’ll be rapid prototyping and iterating yourself, and have more powerful ways to communicate your ideas to stakeholders.
We'll take you through everything from the basics to advanced techniques in one weekend. Best practices will be stressed throughout, teaching good habits, time-saving tips, and tricks to enhance your workflow and deliverables.
You’ll learn via “real life” examples in a project tutorial format: By the end of the course, you'll complete an advanced prototype of an ecommerce website. You'll get a tutorial document for taking notes and referring back to later in your own projects. Later you can also use the official completed project Axure file to investigate how something was built, learn from it, and reuse elements.
Two Days, Three Teachers
To insure the material is fully covered and each of you get the attention you deserve, we're providing three instructors for this two-day workshop. This is unique compared to other workshops and shows our continuing dedication to provide the best learning experience possible.
The instructors are approved Axure trainers Beth Wegner, Patricia Bellantoni, and Paul Lumsdaine.
AB Collective is one of only four preferred Axure trainers in the United States.
