With our task groups defined, we can start working on the PC. At this point, if I had an IDE, I could just start dropping widgets on a window and see what develops. That's a way of "sketching" on the computer, and just as valid as sketching something out on a notepad. I do like the idea of sketching on paper, however, because then you can do some design work. For instance, I can quickly sketch a few layout ideas on paper a lot faster than I could in Photoshop or an IDE.

SAMPLE HAND-DRAWN DESIGNS HERE

Here are some samples I did using Judith's Win32Lib IDE. I like the button idea better than the tabs idea, but that could change tomorrow.

For now, we're going to go with a simple design not involving the fancy elements of the hand-drawn designs.
