Effective advanced Android and iOS7 design patterns, Agile design principles and practical mobile Rapid Iterative Testing and Evaluation insights you can use to super-charge your mobile app. We give a complete strategy to "start with questions and walk away with wireframes."

You will learn how to:
* Create and test paper wireframes for the core pages of your app, before writing a line of code.
* Distill the experience down to essentials, and re-invent your interface with mobile-first approach.
* iOS7 differences from iOS6, beyond skin-deep changes.
* Information Architecture differences between iOS7 and Android 4.
* Cutting edge mobile design patterns (Geo-location, Multi-Touch/Motion, Faceted Search, Parallel Architecture, Virtual Assistant, etc.)
* Emerging patterns (Image Recognition, NFC, etc.).
* Create immersive experience using lessons from popular mobile games like Angry Birds.
* Storyboard your mobile interface transitions using inexpensive, practical, effective strategies.
* Learn practical light-weight guerrilla user testing strategies that will save time and money for your entire team.
* Take on any mobile design challenge with confidence.

This session means having your own mobile design expert giving you a feast of immediate tailor-made iPhone and Android design patterns and Agile process solutions and teaching your entire team “to catch fish”. This session demonstrates how to use Rapid Iterative User Testing and Evaluation in an Agile mobile environment, with an intensive, creative process of using hand-sketched sticky notes to get continuous rapid feedback from potential customers.
