Editor's Notes
- #2: Following up the keynote, and its still pretty early
- #7: In todays enterprise, every new significant business idea needs software to be successful. Whether it’s through a consumer facing mobile app or website, employee application or critical business process the chances are that part or even all of the business idea will be implemented in software to realize the benefits. Those benefits could easily be cost savings through improved internal processes, or enhanced customer service through a mobile app.

- #26: Data Ability to communicate to each other Engaging Functionality
- #28: Macbook Pro touch strip
- #33: Prototyping Gives you clickable actions in demo Provides transitions, navigation, etc. Dummy Data
- #34: Tangible – save time and money when talking to developers, investors, etc. Use Cases- get a feel for the entire workflow, what users would go through Development – so much easier for a developer to create something they can see vs come up with it themselves
- #36: Rarely do you come up with something that is completely new Paypal vs Venmo, what’s the difference? Twitter vs facebook? Facebook vs myspace?
