I had the opportunity to make an interactive sketch for a project on the iPhone the other day. I was pressed for time and really wanted the project. So I decided to take a closer look at tools for rapid prototyping for iPhone/iPad. I have some limited knowledge from the past in making native apps...
QlikView is absolutely wonderful. Giving access to data this way deserves standing applause.
