[Year 12 IT Apps] wireframing tools

[Donna Benjamin]

Wireframing tools like these are great for rapid prototyping of web and
gui applications.

Colin - Thanks for posting these 2 wireframing tools - I hadn't seen
either of those before...  Mockingbird is particularly cool - using the
new Cappuccino open source web framework - http://cappuccino.org/

Mockingbird is an online tool that makes it easy for you to create, link
together, preview, and share mockups of your website or application.

iPlotz allows you to rapidly create clickable, navigable mockups and
wireframes for prototyping websites and software applications. Create a
project, add wireframe pages with design components and discuss your
creations with others.

There's also http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups

And here's some great articles on where wire-framing fits in the
development world

Paper Wire Framing is interesting! Literally cut and paste with scissors
and sticky tape, and worth looking at for group project design tasks.
