UX methodology from Staples (Using Axure for UX Research) with Paul Olson

***************

Special update: Happy Birthday, Axure! It turns out May 2017 marks the 15th anniversary of Axure RP!!

To celebrate, Axure is sponsoring us with special food (think beyond the pizza!) and beverages, and is sending us a Timbuk2 Axure branded laptop backpack and an Axure perpetual license to raffle off!

As if Paul's talk wasn't enough incentive, this is a great reason to come to the Nerdery on the 10th. (Please update your RSVP accordingly so we know how much food to order.)
