Question

So I’m starting to get fairly proficient at coding my site(s). But I’d like to take some meta-steps and begin to get down best practices and workflow kind of stuff. And I was wondering, I’ve heard that it is always important to finish html markup before adding css. Does this extend farther? I’d think that the order would be something like html>css>server-side>client-side. Is this right or is there some better way.

Thanks guys

I think that there is no hard and fast way to do this, it’s an iterative process. Depending on the server side technology that you use, some of what you may wish to do might restrict your options from an html point of view.

In general, I fire together a simple form and wire up the server side code. It’s usually relatively trivial to then make the form look as you wish.
