Prototyping is not a new concept, nor the sole domain of computer science; it’s one that’s been used outside the computing field, even before computers ever existed.

17-Jan-07Martin Luther King Jr. Day
15-Jan-07Today, were released by Stanford University’s King Paper Project, a collection of writings that documents Rev. King thoughts from 1948 to 1963.
