Sanity check: My development workflow

Hmm interesting.

Seems like your doing a top > down approach here. The problem i see with this is that once you modify something in the next layer, your might have to step back up a layer to make changes.

I prefer writing from the ground up. Plan my database structure first. And then build my models on top of the database. Once the models are written, i can use them properly in my controller. At which point I would build up the controllers based on a pre-determined site structure.

I kind of do the views / controllers at the same time, building the needed parts as i put together a page.


But yeah, i like your approach as well. Whatever works best for you is what matters.
