Interface First
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008I'm not a big fan of the waterfall methodology in software development. Too much paperwork and too little development. However, as Alan Rimm-Kaufman points out, good development isn't just about writing code...
A tight interface is the first step to building a good application. For developers, the interface is your conduit to users. This is the part of the program they are most likely to understand (and hate/love). If you've done a poor job of building that interface together, the application will probably fail due to lack of use no matter how good the thing works under the hood.
In Software, The Interface Is The Product:
Too many online retailers lack agility in their IT, despite having great smart committed developers.
Why is that?
How much blame should be placed on their development methodology?
