I love this approach. I can imagine this approach is a basic concept inside a team at a company. Yes my article is mostly in the a view of a single developer. But I am curious how it actually works as a team.

Viktoria,
When working in a team having a common understanding (not assumptions) of how components (front and back) need to communicate and work together is vital. I would like to stress the interface definition is 'controlled' not fixed. As implementation progresses (especially in an agile project) the interface is bound to evolve. "Control" means the interface changes through the mutual agreement of both sides and not independently - that way lies chaos.
