Obviously this depends on what you are prototyping, but PowerPoint,
OpenOffice.org or Keynote are good for interactive prototypes. You
can put hyperlinks in there to jump to different slides - and
they're really quick to use. Keynote and PowerPoint can also export
to Flash. I think PowerPoint has a

In my experience, irise is incredibly difficult to use (to give you an

in Info Design and have worked in software for 10 years, so I'm pretty
technical and adept at learning software quickly), has a very steep
learning curve,

We're working directly from requirements to prototype, adding in supporting
documentation of flows and wireframes only when needed, (Note a good overall
style guide helps a lot).
The tactile nature of prototypes aides greatly in articulating ideas and
displaying functionality to developers. Note p

Jennifer,
Familiarize yourself with a good AJAX library like Prototype, JQuery,
or YUI. Couple those with some good old fashioned XHTML/CSS and you
can skip the wireframe-comp-prototype an

Right, this is an enterprise caliber collection of tools that goes way

There is deep Rational level requirements management tools here. It

What about flash CS3?
You can design/prototype/build for many existing mobile devices, and
can prototype for the web... and build for the web if you decide to
go that route.

to showcase the concepts for both?
