Going from Idea to Prototype

How can you know that people will use a new software idea before you have built it? Josh Wexler (http://leanuxnyc.co/nyc/speaker-lineup/josh-wexler/), CEO of the Occom Group (http://www.occomgroup.com/), will share the process that they use to help anyone (technical or not) validate new software ideas before they are coded. He will tell the story of how a first time entrepreneur went from an idea to a fully functioning prototype that he then used to test with potential customers in about 2 days. Josh will discuss how this process drives clarity among a team and reduces the technical and overall risk of a project.
