Hey guys,

Most of the time I have been programming little apps either for myself or for the benifit of learning. Now that my programming skills are considered somewhat intermediate, I was wondering how I would tackle a large programming project.

Lets suppose I wanted to make an application that has a lot of features and is intended for the use of others and not just myself; how do I go about planning for such projects?

Do I just jump in and start coding the thing or is there some sort of recommended process?

Thanks in advance :D
