Put a little methodology in that madness

Put a little methodology in that madness

When you’re building software, regardless of whether it’s software that will be installed on a computer (think .exe) or hosted in the cloud (think www), it’s generally a good idea to follow some methodology. I say generally, because you could choose to ignore the methodology.
