>Figure out the information necessary, and make sure it meets both front-end constraints Seems to be a glaring contradiction. How would you know if it met front-end constraints if you haven't defined the front-end yet? My experience is that front-end is king. It defines what the app must do. The API and back-end are the how. Obviously, you need the what before the how. If you run into a constraint, then you figure out how to work around it, or what can be sacrificed while still having the front-end deliver the what.
