Open the bonnet, also. That is important in the procedure, but to the OP there is no special procedure just disconnect it, the negative terminal first is for safety, as while undoing bolts on the positive terminal if the spanner touched the body of the car or any other metal bits of the engine, you'll short the battery which rill result in lots of sparks or in extreme cases can cause the battery to explode (thats pretty rare though).

So just follow @chris3234 advise of negative first on disconnecting and last when reconnecting all for your own safety and you won't go wrong.
