See how "design prototyping" differs from other techniques, and learn how to determine when a prototype is needed. Understand how to tailor your prototype to a particular audience, gather techniques for bringing paper sketches to life, and how interactive sketching can fit in an Agile process.

Good talk.It would be nice to have a list of recommended software used for prototyping (I heard Expression Blend was mentioned, but I could not hear them all).

Definitely great talk. I think ForeUI (http://www.foreui.com) is a good tool for prototyping.

Another great tool that I use everyday is Pencil (http://www.evolus.vn/Pencil/). It's a free Firefox extension also avaiable as a stand-alone application.

Great, thorough talk!
I like the development process you layed out.
You might want to look into: www.guimags.com.
I used to do prototypes with a lot of tools (illustrator, flash, whatever), but now I hardly even use a computer at all using this tool!
