Prototyping :Key Principle 1 A prototype is an early sample or model built to test a concept or process …to act as a thing to be built upon Prototyping serves to provide specifications for a real, working systems rather than a theoretical one. The word prototype derives from the Greek πρωτότυπον (prototypon), "primitive form", neutral of πρωτότυπος (prototypos), "original, primitive", from πρ ῶ τος (protos), "first" and τύπος (typos), "impression".prototypeGreek 10-13/09/2012Gilly Salmon ALT-C
