Except mock-ups != prototype.

  Picky, picky. Semantics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype#Semantics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype#Semantics

    I'm picky because, as a coder, I have to personally deal with different variations of what people think "prototype" means. One client thinks prototype means "mock-up", another thinks it means "ready to go" after a round of QA. Surely you can see how this might effect a project overall?
    • joelhaus 16y ago
      No doubt. That's why specifying project requirements and writing proposals is usually so important for both client and coder. Managing expectations is key.

        Managing is a waste of time. Working smart is better. It's simple. We have a word for mock-up or comp. We have a word for prototype which is...prototype.
