Shower walls, because if you do the floor first, and then drop a wall tile on it, you could risk chipping the already laid tile. Work with gravity, top to bottom all the time

Must disagree with above answer. Floor first so that floor goes under walls. Then leave a small gap between walls and floors. Do not grout this gap. Caulk it when job is done.
