Watch Promo Enroll in this course
This video course will take you through all of the lessons you would learn if you took our Two-Day Core Skills Prototyping Workshop. You will learn topics including the Axure environment, Masters, global styling, forms, dynamic panels, pinning panels, and adaptive views.
Over 70 lessons... around 9 hours of content. The most complete Axure 8 course out there!
Quick Note: What about Axure version 9?
I teach all of the same lessons in 9 as I do in 8. The main difference is that they changed the UI to move key functions to non-intuitive places. They're also changing version 9 somewhat frequently given some of the backlash/feedback they've been getting. Therefore, it doesn't make sense to re-record 17 hours of video courses while the app is still noticeably evolving. Please watch the first video on where to find things I'll show you in 8 - but in version 9 - and hopefully you'll get the hang of the UI changes.
Work along with your trainer!
Have two screens or one giant screen that you can split? Work along with me. Don't just watch the videos... learn by doing! Let's build each lesson together. Pause and replay where you need to.
Through my consulting company, Ptype (formerly known as Brass Flowers), we are one of just a handful of companies (worldwide) recommended by Axure as a trainer. Need more training? We train individuals and teams remotely and in person.

What Is Axure?
Axure is software available for Windows and Macs that allows people who work in UX (user experience), interaction design, development, design, or product management to create flow charts, wireframes, and interactive clickable prototypes. Axure's main competitors are Omnigraffle and Visio for wireframing and JustInMind, UXPin, Invision, and roughly 40 other software applications for prototyping.
Axure easily handles low, medium, and high fidelity wireframes and prototypes. It can also handle data sets, variables, listeners, mobile interactions, and a seemingly endless heap of great features. Clickable interactive prototypes that work on desktop and/or mobile are great for socialising, user testing, and documentation.
Axure can publish HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Jquery (not for production servers, please!) and can also generate a variety of spec documents. Published Axure files can be uploaded to your own hosting or straight through the software to the Axure Share site. Axure now lets you host up to 1000 prototypes for free (password protection on each is optional).
Whether you need to show a quick mockup or reproduce a polished product, Axure is a great tool to know well. Many UX employers are starting to look for Axure on resumes! With a great coach (that's me!) and some Axure training, you can expand your skill set.
