Hey, I am just in a dilemma right now. I'm thinking of building an app but should I build the design first or write the code first? Which one should come first? Not sure if there is any good videos on teamtreehouse pertaining this matter? Thanks in advance!

42,016 Pointsyou will definitely need to come up with a design on how your app will function, various screens etc before writing any sort of code. You dont necessarily have to come up with the colors and true look of the application, but you cant write any code without having a general idea of how the app will work.
