Overview
Sketch is a software tool built for one specific purpose: to give you the power to rapidly create visually stunning representations - prototypes - of the web sites and apps you want to build; which you can then share with other people. In this course, design pro Andy Anderson takes you through the entire start-to-finish process of using Sketch to construct and export a real-world prototype of a mobile phone app. He starts with the basics of the Sketch app by getting you familiar with the interface, then teaches you to import assets into the work area, and shows you how to create and manipulate objects. He also advises you on efficient ways to organize and plan your projects, and finishes by explaining the best ways to export the finished product so you can share it locally or over the Internet.
- Gain hands-on experience creating a real-world prototype of a smart phone app
- Understand how to access the Sketch app and use the interface
- Learn how to import text, images, and objects into Sketch
- Discover time saving tips and tricks that speed up and improve the design process

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
