WDI Seminar Series

WDI Seminar Series

This is  a monthly meeting to share what we have been learning, and tools we have been using, to support WDI projects.  This was spearheaded by the software development team and will include software development topics, but is open to anything that folks are learning or using that could  help WDI: project management, metadata schemas, NM water resource information, etc.

Seminar recordings and slides will be posted here.

Update: March 14, 2025. This is no longer a monthly seminar series, but useful videos are still posted here periodically.

Meeting Purpose
Demonstrate Figma's prototyping features for website design and user interface mockups.

Key Takeaways

  • Figma's prototyping tools enable easy creation of interactive mockups without coding

  • Key features: navigation between frames, fixed/sticky elements, scroll behaviors, and component state changes

  • Prototypes simulate device-specific interactions (e.g., iPhone notch) for accurate previews

  • Simple to set up: add interactions to elements, define triggers, and specify resulting actions
