which part of the assignment do we need to do first?

Hi, Ranchers:
I just downloaded the assignment. Based on your experience, which part is it best for us to do first? GUI, client-side, server-side? Thanks.

In my opinion, think about the design first, think again, (you can find lots of useful thread here )and then create your local part then when your GUI work perfectly, go for server part.
Good Luck

In the real world we always build a prototype of what the application will look like first, so I would think that you should build the client side first.
Of course, I didn't do it this way. I got so caught up in reading some of the discussions here on locking/unlocking and making the database accessible to multiple remote clients that I couldn't resist jumping in and building my server first.

I started with my server, but either way is fine. Don't worry in the beginning that you might change the design a couple of times and refactor, because that is fine.
