Say for example you’re getting a web app project that interacts with a database.
How do you start your development? Do you start by designing your database, drawing simple ERD and writting a create scripts? Do you start by designing the look of your of web app, maybe using photoshop, then create a master page for it? or do you start by designing your domain models, with minimal looks, and apply a preetier design later on?
Please share you thoughts on this… Cheers…
You start by deciding which way you start. No but really, it depends on too much factors to have a general answer. Do you develop using concepts of agile development, are there specified functional designs, did the client give you strict requirements, what is your own experience etc..
Generally we start by developing our business objects first, then creating views for them using sample data / fake databases or sometimes even plain text files. From there, we start filling in the bits and pieces. If not all requirements are set, it’s best to keep the database outside your development as long as possible. That way you prevent yourself from having to change your db, sprocs and interaction with your db everytime.
