Application development steps

Most software applications perform three major functions:

A user interface to capture data
Logic to validate the captured data
A database to store the validated data

The process steps to develop these major functions varies from project to project. In this tutorial you will review or participate in the following application development steps to build the Compass Travel Trips Maintenance application:

Step	Description
1	Determine the application functional requirements.
2	Determine the data requirements by identifying the information required for the Trip Maintenance application.
3	Design the database for your application by exploring the database tables that will store the trip information.
4	Develop the ColdFusion application pages.

An overview of each of these application development steps is explored in greater detail in the following sections.

This is nice way to make some one understand how the application should be developed...
The more complicated example could do the better job since it will
address all the aspect those a small and simple applicatioin can not sense.
This was a great help for beginer like me.
