Course details

Before spending your time and effort to code a mobile app, it's a good idea to create a prototype.You might even be required to create one by a client or boss. That's a goodthing, because a prototype serves as a blueprint, so you can see in advancewhat you're creating. Not only does Adobe XD makes this process fast andvisual, you don't have to do any coding. It's better than making static screenmock-ups in other programs like Illustrator and Photoshop because you can createsimple interactions and links, view the results on your mobile device, andeasily share the results with other people. You can see what you're gettingbefore you start the actual development.
