Developing Front-to-Back is a strategy that we like to use on existing codebases (and sometimes new ones), where we start at the most visible and immediate to the user - the design, then proceed to front-end development, and then eventually do back-end development last.

What this does is allows Design and Front-end Development to set the data structure that they prefer when building the front-end, ensuring that data's cleanly formatted.

• Design
• Building the Front End
• Adding Stubbed Data to the Controller
• Starting Backend Development
• Creating a Post Object
• Creating and Identifying Existing Fieldsets
• Getting Data from the CMS to the Controller
• Setting up your fields for ease of access
• Leveraging Existing Functionality
• Refactoring Functionality into Content Layers
• Finishing the Controller
