CS 6452: Prototyping Interactive Systems

Description

This course centered around progressively creating a prototype for a web based chat client in Jython (implementation of Python written in Java). The four deliverables were as follows:

  • Initial design ideas and low fidelity prototype (pencil and paper or digital picture).
  • GUI layout and basic functionality
  • Previous GUI with interaction over a network
  • Previous GUI with addition of Web Services (Google and Wikipedia)
  • Previous GUI with addition of databases to store and retrieve past chats
  • A different basic functionality GUI prototype created in a prototyping tool

All the code for the GUI implementation was done in Jython using the JES IDE, a text editor, and the command line. Axure was used to develop the second GUI layout.
