Ok, so I know this topic has come up before, but I would really like advice
from the community on what tools they are using to create interactive
prototypes and wireframes.
I have always used something like Visio, OmniGraffle, Illustrator, Indesign
type tools to create static wireframe
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

Yes. At least once a month. : )
One of the great things about the IxDA is its
In my experience, irise is incredibly difficult to use (to give you an
idea of how difficult - I have a BS in Computer Systems and an MS in HF
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

HI,
One nice thing about Flash is that you can do it relatively quickly,
and depending on the mobile (phone?) itself you can run the Lite
version

Oh come on, Will. : )
Discussions of both tools are perfectly valid. The issues were only with
that's not true! we can discuss the companies and their solutions. We
just shouldn't discuss specifics about patents. Heck, I can name 2
hand fulls of companies that have patent disputes, the fact that
there is a dispute is meaningless. It is the details inside the
disputes that are meaningful.

Right, this is an enterprise caliber collection of tools that goes way
beyond their simulation system which is the prototype creation tool.
There is deep Rational level requirements management tools here. It
really isn't fair to compare it to Axure. It's like comparing Notepad
to MS Word.

iRise has a standalone edition for $6,995, it is still expensive compared
to Axure. But for individuals or smaller shops that are working with a
client who uses iRise it could be a viable alternative. Also, according to
their website they are doing a trial of an on-demand version of iRise

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

Hi Todd -
Not to skew the topic too much, but have you been able to move the
prototype into something designers and developers can directly build

Welcome to the Interaction Design Association
I am not sure if this is a trick question...!
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.
