Forget about those tools and coding; first define your problem; what is and
what isn't part of your problem. Then analyse your problem. If you've figured
that out design your solution. After that implement your design and
finally deliver what you've implemented.

kind regards,

re: How to start a project


usually i will get into coding after knowing the full functionality needed with my web form.

so it is must to understand the inter-form-relationship or simply the functionality of each form related with other forms .

once u came to know about it, it will be easier to u to code the web page.


cheers!

Of course, not forgetting to test before delivery... :0)

Of course; but I consider testing part of the implementation phase; if something
doesn't pass the tests I don't consider it implemented.
