What is RSF? (and why should we care?). Good things…. Gives (UI) designers near-total control over the look of the tool Is quick to work with Is great for rapid prototyping and user-testing The same tool can have more than one interface (wow!) And developers like it too!.

  1. What is RSF?(and why should we care?)

  2. Good things… Gives (UI) designers near-total control over the look of the tool Is quick to work with Is great for rapid prototyping and user-testing The same tool can have more than one interface (wow!) And developers like it too!

  3. More good things… Very realistic prototypes allow help files to be written in advance HTML prototypes can include things it’s hard to put into graphic mockups, e.g. large amounts of text

  4. BUT it relies on UI designers knowing HTML to get all the benefits.

  5. What happens? Make the HTML prototypes for your tool Test the prototype with users Improve them, test them again, etc. Hand the HTML pages to the developer Wow! The developer hands backs a tool just like the one you designed.

  6. That’s it!

  7. Original HTML template: <h3>Mail Archives for Chem 101</h3>

  8. Label the text that changes: <h3>Mail Archives for <spanrsf:id=“site-name”>Chem 101</span> </h3> (NB: This should be internationalisable in real life…)

  9. Could it be magic? “Chem 101” is replaced by the name of your site!

  10. Good things… Gives (UI) designers near-total control over the look of the tool Is quick to work with Is great for rapid prototyping and user-testing The same tool can have more than one interface (wow!) And developers like it too!

  11. Some tips: don’t use flexibility as an excuse for poor planning or failure to design manage expectations carefully, as it looks “done” from the start

  12. More tips: don’t create overly complex templates – they are hard to preview and hard to work with don’t nest RSF IDs if you don’t have to (what?) don’t make the developer design the first round of the tool
