>In the March 99 issue of Component Strategies, a great column by Thomas Mowbray on "Which Comes First: Architecture or Programming?" defends programming-centric application development. This is the first time I have seen tacit approval for the "code cowboy" approach in a long time. This article defends both approaches, actually, but it does so in a way that is refreshing.

I've subscribed to this mag for years and yes, this is a great article. Highly recommended.
