An Introduction and the Purpose of Wireframes

Welcome to the first D2W Podcast. D2W stands for designer/developer workflow, and was also a conference held in Kansas City in June of 2010. In this session, we introduce our hosts of the podcast, talk about what workflows are, how we use them and then get deep into the needs and challenges of wire-framing.
