Development Unit by Unit

When I write an application i tend to develop it in parts or units. At first I will focus on getting one part working and make sure to clearly understand its behavior, inputs, usability, and outputs. I will then move to assembling these units together into a larger application. In many ways it is very similar to Chafic’s concept of Application Components where a larger application is technically made of many subcomponents that contain larger sets of working parts.

I really like to both think and work on applications in parts as better interfaces (programming) result. I get one or two units of an application working and then merge them together into a larger build given unit stability and functionality are largely complete. Maybe it is my way of breaking problems down into smaller peices but it really helps me get to the end result quicker. Ideally I spend as little time as possible with a non-working app and rather focus on getting each unit working well before assembling these units together.

How do you build apps or parts of apps?

Cheers,

Ted :)
