seems too academic for my senses

I'm probably going to get the back-end wired together pretty solidly so I know it's features and limitations well (so Chicago i guess) then start designing from the front (now London i guess?). The middle is fudge-able and mock-able or whatever (do it on your own machine for a while type stuff).

All without labeling (or even acknowledging) any of the individual approaches. Being forced into choosing one or the other would be very annoying and counter productive for everyone but the PM's office.

I totally agree. I don't think it makes a difference either way as long as you test both the back and front end.

I would personally much rather focus on having the back end tested and working perfectly before moving to the front end. I guess that means I will following Chicago style but it's due to my preferences than any conscious effort to follow one school of thought or a belief that one is better than the other.
