Do you have a concept for a new app idea but don’t know how or where to test it out first? If you enjoy working with new ideas and have a drive for the entrepreneurial spirit then this session is for you. By using rapid prototyping to build out your idea, you can see your app come to life and rethink many aspects that were never thought of in the initial brainstorming phase, thus giving you a fully functioning model of your idea. We will discuss methods and practices for using WordPress as a platform to develop prototypes for web applications in a quick and cost-effective way. We’ll discuss what tools you can use to optimize WordPress as a rapid prototyping platform and where you should focus your time versus things you can worry about later. We will also discuss the benefits and drawbacks of rapid prototyping and how to avoid common mistakes.
